Libya: Armed Conflict
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what support UK armed forces provided to the Tripoli Revolutionary Brigade in advance of its takeover of the Libyan capital in August 2011.
- Answer
-
As stated in my responses in June and October 2021 to Questions 14221, 14222 and 14223, throughout 2011 the UK Government sought to respond to rapidly changing and volatile dynamics in order to protect Libyan civilians and wider UK interests. The UK's objective was clear: protect civilians and promote stability in Libya in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 and in support of NATO's Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR.
Given the amount of time that has elapsed since 2011 I would be happy to provide the hon. Member with a fuller written answer concerning assessments produced of the two Libyan brigades in due course.
