Abu Qatada treaty ratified by UK Parliament

[dipsydoodle]

The treaty agreed between Britain and Jordan, which is intended to pave the way for the deportation of Abu Qatada, has been signed into law in the UK.

The treaty will not come into force until other administrative formalities are completed, including Royal assent.

The document must also be published in an official newspaper in Jordan and there must be an exchange of diplomatic letters between the two countries.

The treaty could then lead to the deportation of Abu Qatada next week.
