Broadcasting (Illegal Jamming)
- Question
- To ask the Prime Minister whether in his bilateral discussions with President Colonel Gadaffi he (a) sought and (b) obtained assurances that access to Libya and the region by Western television and radio services via satellite communication would not be impeded by Libyan authorities or official agencies; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
I have discussed a number of bilateral and international issues with Colonel Gadaffi. Internationally the Government continue to work to eliminate barriers to freedom of expression and information and to create an environment in which free speech and a free media flourish. The British ambassador in Tripoli has also raised the issue with the Libyan authorities at a senior level.
