Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya (London Conference).


Libya (London Conference)

I thank the Foreign Secretary for his statement. It is clear from television pictures that a humanitarian catastrophe is waiting to happen—no water, no electricity, no food, medical supplies dwindling, and people queuing up at the hospital for treatment for those who have been injured, shot or blown up by the other forces. What steps has the right hon. Gentleman taken to ensure that technical support is given to civilians in Libya so that they can resume some normality in their lives?
