The wife of a Briton extradited to the United States has broken down in tears while describing his case to MPs.
Chris Tappin, 65, of Orpington, south-east London, was extradited last week over claims he conspired to sell batteries for use in Iranian missiles.
His wife Elaine told the Commons home affairs committee of her dismay that UK courts were not interested in his case.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC told MPs issues with the UK-US extradition treaty were "not readily curable".

Personally, I think this is ridiculous, are the US courts going to go after Russian steel company executives? After all, you can't make missiles without steel.
