Subsection (1A) applies to various criminal proceedings, but these do not include extradition proceedings.

Section 29(1) of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 allows the Secretary of State by Order to provide for section 32(1A) of the 1988 Act to apply to any further description of criminal proceedings, or to all criminal proceedings. By this Order, the Secretary of State provides that section 32(1A) of the 1988 Act applies to extradition proceedings.
