Hr Shafqat, who made this initial enquiry informally sought the return of these two persons to Pakistan. He did so on the basis that they were undesirables and were seeking to escape justice. He acknowledged that there was no Extradition Treaty between the United Kingdom and Pakistan, but hoped that we would comply with the Pakistani request in the spirit of "reciprocity of courtesy".

5.

I said that we would look into the matter and reply in due course. I asked him to obtain the passport numbers of the two accused. I warned Mr Shafqat of the difficulty of obtaining the removal of a person to another country for judicial proceedings unless there was an Extradition Treaty

in force.
