Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 18 January 2010.

Libya: Human Rights

Question: My Lords, we, too, are grateful to the Foreign Secretary for his statement on Jaballa Matar, which has been published on the FCO website. Could the Foreign Secretary now publish a complete list of all the individual representations that have been made to the Libyan Government together with the text of any replies that have been received? Will the Foreign Office also consult our partners in the European Union so that a consolidated list of the human rights violations that we have taken up with the Libyan Government can be put together for presentation to the universal periodic review of Libya next year?

Answer: My Lords, I take note of all those points and will respond to them appropriately.
