Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

My Lords, the noble Lord makes an extremely good point. Qatar is sending military assistance. We anticipate further assistance from other Arab League members, although we are currently not in a position to say what form this will take. Arab partners made it clear that if the action was authorised by a Security Council resolution, they would contribute military assets. We are continuing to discuss this with them and to lobby our partners to contribute to a coalition force from both NATO and the wider international community.
