The Foreign Secretary has revealed that the British Government can't prevent a terror suspect from the Black Country being extradited to India.
Paramjeet Singh Saini was granted asylum in the UK in 1999. The father of four from West Bromwich is wanted by the Indian government on murder and terrorism charges and is in jail in Portugal.
He was arrested there when he took his family on a Christmas holiday. He denies any involvement in the murder and terror attacks which happened in India in 2009.
Earlier his MP John Spellar led a delegation to the Foreign Office to ask that officials intervene and get him returned to his home in the West Midlands.
Mr Spellar, the MP for Warley, said if the Indian authorities have concerns about Mr Singh's refugee status they should raise them with the British Government.

Kate McCann said the delays add more pain and distress to the family, which is why they took the case against the former police chief in the first place. The couple said they would not give up looking for their daughter, and would continue their fight against Mr Amaral an her behalf.

Kate and Gerry McCann say Goncalo Amaral have caused them unnecessary grief.

Their appearance will mark the end of the trial, but a final ruling on the case is not expected until later this year.

Claims in Mr Amaral's 2008 book included suggestions that they hid Madeleine's body after she died in an accident.
