  Police and Justice Bill - Extradition to the USA
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  
  The majority of MPs rejected a house of Lords <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/glossary/?gl=114">amendment</a> that would have meant that the United States would still have to meet a prima facie case to extradite someone from the United Kingdom. This would have been implemented by removing the United States from the list of Part 2 Territories under the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition_Act_2003">Extradition Act 2003</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Those MPs in the minority were trying to ensure that extradition to the USA would only occur after a prima facie case had been brought against an individual and the accused had been given an opportunity to contest that evidence in a UK court. This was in spite of the fact that the 2003 Extradition Treaty had now been ratified by the United States and there was now a degree of reciprocity in extradition proceedings.</p>
