Proceeding contribution from Tony Lloyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

The Prime Minister rightly said that we would urge that there be no de-Ba'athification process in Libya. However, the reality is that the institutions across Libya are corrupted and weak. In particular, the courts, which are central to a functioning modern democratic society, have Gaddafi's placemen in position. Is Britain, perhaps with the European Union, prepared to put real effort into supporting the development of those civil structures?
