1.7 Million Pounds was perhaps only the direct legal costs of Barristers pleading in all the extradition attempts concerning Qatada !
What the British taxpayer really wants to know is what all the indirect costs were of the surveillance and protection of Qatada and his family between his arrival some 20 years ago and his effective deportation this last week !
Such costs should take into account not only police time and social security costs and handouts including housing costs, but also the cost of preparing and instructing lawyers in government departments.
Qatada pleaded his human rights continually. Such a possibility for known terrorists must be restricted in future. This must be part of a revision of the Human Rights which are at present available to Terrorists, but alas not to the victims they may have even "haphazardly" killed !
If David Cameron demands the preparation of a file to determine the real total costs, he will have the means to fight for a reduction of the limits of the E U HUMAN RIGHTS COURTS, and at the same time obtain more respect for judgements of the BRITISH HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE.
