The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answers on 4th September 2023:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government what, if any, extradition arrangements exist between the UK and (1) the People’s Republic of China, and (2) the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con, Home Office): The UK does not have a bilateral extradition treaty with the People’s Republic of China. The Foreign Secretary made a statement in the House of Commons in July 2020 on the status of the UK-Hong Kong Extradition Treaty, confirming its indefinite suspension.
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government how many people were extradited from the UK to another country to face trial in each year between 2019 and 2022.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom: The number of persons extradited under Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003 to face trial in another country in each year between 2019 and 2022 may be listed as follows:
| Year | On Accusation Warrants |
| 2019 | 23 |
| 2020 | 17 |
| 2021 | 17 |
| 2022 | 20 |
All figures are from local management information. As such they should be treated as provisional and subject to change.
The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases. Only those surrendered on accusation warrants are included. The figures also do not include persons extradited to requesting states on the basis of a conviction warrant, as this assumes they will not be facing trial in the requested state on return.
Extraditions from the UK under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 are handled by the National Crime Agency and statistics are published on their website:
