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


Libya

That is an entirely reasonable point. So far the cost of our contribution to operations has been £120 million. The cost of spent munitions is in excess of that figure—I think around £140 million. Clearly Britain has spent money to help the Libyan people to free themselves, and, as my hon. Friend says, Libya is a wealthy country. We have had not had conversations about that to date, but I am sure that those are matters we can take into account for the future.
