By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor PUBLISHED: 11:40 EST, 12 June 2013 | UPDATED: 11:48 EST, 12 June 2013 The deportation of radical cleric Abu Qatada took a step closer today, as the Jordanian parliament approved a new treaty with the UK designed to finally kick him out. Downing Street said David Cameron had not yet booked a plane ticket for Qatada after the deal was sealed to allay fears that evidence extracted through torture will be used against the terror suspect at a retrial. Last month, Qatada unexpectedly volunteered to leave the country as soon as the treaty between the UK and Jordan is ratified by both countries.
