CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL EXTRADITION
Last session's Bill included a gallant but misguided attempt to
repeal the Extradition Acts. There is no such attempt in the
present Bill.
The Acts will survive for many years to come.
If the Extradition Acts had been repealed, they would have had to
take with them a string of enactments adding new items to the
list of extradition crimes. In Part II of Schedule 13 to last
session's Bill, as brought from the Commons, everything following
the Fugitive Offenders Act 1967 was aimed at this. The list was
not correct, because it was prepared
was prepared in ignorance of the fact
that the Hijacking Act 1971 and the Protection of Aircraft Act
1973 had been consolidated into the Aviation Security Act 1982.
