This is VERY URGENT so please do help, EDM wording as below
EDM 128 Extradition
That this House notes that it has been over five months since it passed a
motion on 5 December 2011 calling on the Government to reform the UK's
extradition arrangements to strengthen the protection of British
citizens by both introducing, as a matter of urgency, a Bill to enact
the safeguards recommended by the Joint Committee on Human Rights in its
Fifteenth Report, HC 767, and by pursuing such amendments to the UK-US
Extradition Treaty 2003 and the EU Council Framework Decision 2002 on
the European Arrest Warrant asare necessary in order to give effect to
such recommendations; further notes that it is over seven months since
the Scott Baker Review of the UK's extradition laws; welcomes the
announcement in March 2012 by President Obama and the Prime Minister of a
joint initiative to look into the operation of the UK-US Extradition
Treaty; believes that it would not be in the public interest for anyone
to be extradited to the US from the UK until theurgent legislation
called for by Parliament to amend the 2003 Treaty has been passed;
supports the Home Affairs Select Committee's recommendation for the Home
Secretary to publish the evidence to the Baker Review immediately; and
calls on the Government to bring forward legislation in line with
Parliament's wishes.
