I have given my consent to this transfer. My Department has also received consent for the transfer from both the United Kingdom authorities and the person referred to by the Deputy. Our transfer legislation requires that an application be made to the High Court for a warrant authorising both the transfer into the country of a prisoner and for his or her continued detention in this jurisdiction. The State's legal officers are currently preparing an application to the High Court for the necessary warrant. On receipt of a warrant, final arrangements for the transfer will be made.
