What assessment he has made of the political and security situation in Libya.
What assessment he has made of the political and security situation in Libya.
I met the Libyan Foreign Minister last week. The UK is
concerned by the increasing violence across Libya. We continue to support the efforts of the UN to resolve the crisis and pave the way for peaceful dialogue. We welcome recent UN talks in Geneva, and call on all Libyans to resolve their differences through negotiation and compromise.
I thank the Minister for his answer. What lessons have been learned from our intervention in Libya four years ago? Will he comment further on the potential for peace following the Geneva talks?

The situation is very delicate indeed, but our military action in Libya did save lives. The UK’s actions in 2011 were consistent with our obligations under international law and, as the House will be aware, after four decades of misrule, Libya had been left with a political and constitutional vacuum. It was therefore perhaps inevitable that it would end up with a large number of groups jostling for power.

We keep the security situation in southern Libya under close review. We assess that a number of extremist groups consider that region to be an increasingly permissive environment. We continue to work closely with other Government Departments and agencies, particularly JTAC (the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre), to monitor, and consider how best to deal with, potential threats to the UK and UK interests.

The Ministry of Defence has regular discussions with international partners and Other Government Departments to address the security situation in Libya and the region, including the issue of unsecured arms and ammunition. Instability in Libya is exacerbated by the scale of the now largely unsecured arms and ammunition amassed earlier by the Ghadaffi regime and the porosity of Libya's borders. Illegal flows of arms and ammunition, extremism and the growing terrorist threat from Libya affect the whole region and are significant issues of concern for the international community.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent reports he has received on the extent of the circulation of illegal weapons in Libya.

We closely monitor the illegal arms trade with regards to Libya, and the risks of proliferation associated with uncontrolled stocks of weapons and ammunition.
