Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

On post-conflict planning for Libya, the Foreign Secretary is reported to have said at the weekend that although such planning is vital, it is as yet in an ““embryonic”” state. I do not know whether that is true, but it is what I read in the press. Surely there is now an urgency to post-conflict planning. The Gaddafi regime could go on for some time yet but, equally, it could be on the point of collapse. What is the hold-up? What urgency can the Foreign Secretary bring to post-conflict planning for Libya, and what can he tell the House about the problems and plans involved?
