MP calls for Home Secretary statement on McKinnon case
14th January 2010
David Burrowes calls for a statement from the Home Secretary in light of the High Court decision to allow Gary McKinnon to challenge the Home Secretary's decision to allow his extradition.
Mr. David Burrowes (Enfield, Southgate) (Con): May we have a statement from the Home Secretary about my constituent, Gary McKinnon, who was given the green light yesterday by the High Court to challenge the Home Secretary's decision to allow his extradition? Surely the Home Secretary should see the writing on the wall from the court's decision that he was wrong to ignore the compelling medical evidence and wrong to allow the extradition, given my constituent's perilous mental state.
Ms Harman: This is now going forward for judicial review.
