Labour Minister on Siddiq Arrest Warrant: We Won’t Comment on Extradition Proceedings

Tax minister James Murray was on LBC asked about the arrest warrant issued in Bangladesh for his former Treasury colleague Tulip Siddiq:

“There’s a long-standing government position that we won’t comment on extradition proceedings or in individual cases, I mean I know that Tulip has strenuously denied the allegations and her lawyers have said that it’s political interference that is involved but in terms of what I can say as a government minister there’s a long-standing position that we won’t comment on that.
