To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a UK citizen could be extradited under the European Arrest Warrant after the end of the transition period; and if so, why.
Answered on
7 October 2020
This answer is a correction from the original answer.
The Withdrawal Agreement provides that procedures under the European Arrest Warrant Framework Decision will continue to conclusion only in circumstances where an arrest has already been made prior to the end of the Transition Period. The UK has a longstanding policy of not distinguishing between UK nationals and others in extradition proceedings.
Original answer
The Home Office does not hold the information requested.
However, some statistics on the European Arrest Warrant are published by the National Crime Agency each year. These figures include a breakdown of the numbers of UK citizens extradited from the UK.
