29 Nov 2007 : Column 652W—continued


Drugs: Peterborough

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many drug dealers who were not UK citizens resident in the Peterborough city council area were deported in each year since 2001; and if she will make a statement. [168769]

Mr. Byrne: The information requested could be obtained only through the detailed examination of individual case files at disproportionate cost. The chief executive of the Border and Immigration Agency wrote to the Home Affairs Committee on 20 November providing the most accurate and robust information on foreign national prisoners. A copy of this letter is available from the Library of the House.

EC Integration

Tim Farron: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions she has had with the Foreign Secretary on the British Council's Migration Integration Policy Index 2007 report. [168788]

Mr. Byrne [holding answer 27 November 2007]: There have been no discussions between the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Foreign Secretary about the Migration Integration Policy Index 2007 report.

Extradition

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many extradition requests were received by the UK from (a) the USA, (b) each of the other EU member states and (c) other countries, in each of the last five years; and how many of those were (i) granted and (ii) refused. [165422]

Meg Hillier: For the purposes of this reply, the answer gives details of requests made to England and
29 Nov 2007 : Column 653W
Wales; requests from Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for the Scotland Office and Northern Ireland Office respectively.

Since 1 January 2004, extradition between the UK and European Union has been conducted under the Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), which was given effect in the UK by part 1 of
29 Nov 2007 : Column 654W
the Extradition Act 2003. The other EU member states have been designated under part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 at regular intervals. A separate table sets out the statistics for the EAW.

It should be emphasised that a person is not always returned in the same year that an extradition request has been received.
