Proceeding contribution from Lord Naseby (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

My Lords, the noble Lord has made it clear that there have been very few casualties from NATO’s operations, and that is to be enormously welcomed. Does he accept nevertheless that when it comes to assessing the activities overall, the number of civilians who have died on both sides—whether from rebel forces moving forward or from Gaddafi’s forces trying to defend—must be considerable, and it would be appropriate at some point in time for an estimate to be made of what those figures are?
