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, I agree with my noble friend that this is a concern. Of course, what has been happening is that it is Colonel Gaddafi and his troops and other armed forces who have been causing such difficulty and damage to electricity and water supplies, particularly in the town of Misurata. It is no part of the coalition’s objective to try to degrade those kinds of not just economic but humanitarian assets.
