  The majority of MPs voted not to require consultations and assessments prior to amending the power for UK constables to arrest people on the basis of a request from an authority in another country.
  
  MPs were considering the Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Bill[1].
  
  The amendment supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 13, page 3, line 37, leave out from beginning to end of line 2 on page 4.
  
  An explanatory statement accompanying the amendment stated:
  
  :This amendment leaves out a provision inserted in the Lords imposing certain conditions relating to consultation, assessments and reports on the making of regulations under new section 74B(7).
  
  The provision, which was to be inserted into [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/41/contents the Extradition Act 2003] that was left out as a result of this vote stated:
  
  :The Secretary of State may only make regulations under subsection(7) if the following conditions are first metâ
  : (a)the Secretary of State has consulted on the merits of the change with â
  : (i)each devolved administration, and
  : (ii)non-governmental  organisations  which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, have a relevant interest,
  :(b)the Secretary of State has laid an assessment before each House of Parliament on the risks of the change, and 
  :(c)if the regulations are to add a reference to a territory to Schedule A1, the Secretary of State has laid a statement before each House of Parliament confirming that the territory does not abuse the Interpol Red Notices system
  
  The regulations in question would amend the scope, and arrangements, relating to a power for UK constables to arrest people on the basis of a request from an authority in another country. The proposal at the time of the vote was for such a power to apply in respect of  certain requests from Australia, Canada, Liechtenstein and New Zealand.
