To parade my ignorance, will the Minister explain subsection (3)? What is the position of people who might be in Crown dependent territories, who are not covered by the category of British overseas territory? Are they included in the United Kingdom if they are brought back for trial from the bailiwicks of Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle on Man? I believe that the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom. If the Minister can confirm the situation, my mind will be at rest.
