Libya
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Lord Strathclyde on 21 March (Official Report, col. 468), how they are working with other European Union member states to meet the needs of displaced people, refugees and the de facto stateless in Libya and north Africa.
- Answer
-
We remain in close contact and co-ordinate our efforts with our EU partners over displaced persons in Libya and around its borders. The UK has funded the repatriation of over 15,000 foreign migrant workers from Libya. We continue to work closely with the UN High Commission for Refugees, the International Organisation for Migration and the International Committee of the Red Cross in addressing these problems. The Department for International Development has humanitarian advisers at the border camps who are monitoring the situation closely.
