A three-way consent is required to enable any transfer to take place, namely, from the authorities of both jurisdictions and from the person concerned. I can inform the Deputy that I have given my consent to this transfer. My Department is awaiting the consent for the transfer from both the United Kingdom authorities and the person referred to by the Deputy. On receipt of those consents, assuming they will be forthcoming, an application must then be made to the High Court for a warrant authorising the transfer of the person concerned and his continued detention here. These procedures are required under the Convention and the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Act 1995 and must be adhered to in processing each application.
