To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what progress has been made by the Government on establishing the number of victims of IRA-Gaddifi sponsored violence in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

Establishing such numbers could be difficult, and the Northern Ireland Office does not hold information to allow us to establish this.
The Lockerbie bombing was directly linked to Libya. It is more problematic to establish involvement of a third party when they are not directly responsible for a particular act.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps he is taking to establish a fund to compensate victims of IRA-Gaddafi sponsored violence in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

I have every sympathy for the victims of terrorist violence, for which there could be no possible justification.
A Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme already operates in Great Britain. Responsibility for compensation of victims of terrorism in Northern Ireland is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive, which oversees the Northern Ireland Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.
The Government has made clear to the Libyan authorities that resolution of legacy issues remains a priority for us. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs raised the issue of compensation in his meetings with Prime Minister Serraj and Deputy Prime Minister Maiteq during the London Ministerial on 31 October 2016. The Government will continue to encourage the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims, and their legal representatives, seeking redress, including those seeking compensation.
The Government position remains that it is not able to negotiate with the Libyan government on individual compensation claims, as these are not government-to-government claims. These are private matters best pursued directly with the Libyan authorities. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides facilitation support to victims, their representatives and campaign groups, where it has been requested and is appropriate.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there are any assets in the United Kingdom held by surviving relatives or representatives of the late Colonel Gaddafi.[HL3522]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there are any assets in the United Kingdom held by surviving relatives or representatives of the late Colonel Gaddafi.[HL3522]
European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN) financial sanctions require that the assets of listed persons and entities are frozen. Asset freezing is a separate and distinct process to asset recovery; it does not provide for funds to be repatriated or recovered.
Following the lifting of sanctions against a number of entities by the UN and EU, over 80% of assets previously frozen under UN and EU sanctions in the UK have now been unfrozen.
The remaining asset-freezing measures relating to Libya now only apply to those individuals and entities listed in Annexes II and III to EU Regulation 204/2011. These include relatives of the late Muammar al-Qadhafi. For confidentiality reasons, the Government are unable to provide details of assets that remain frozen.
The UK Government have held frequent discussions with the EU Delegation in Tripoli to establish that the current sanctions regime is appropriate to the changing situation in Libya. Under the Libyan Transitional Government, the UK had established close links with both the Libyan embassy in London and the Deputy Prime Minister's Office in Libya to take forward co-operation between the relevant UK and Libyan agencies with a view to sharing information on Libyan assets in the UK.
With the new Libyan Government appointed, the UK Government are actively looking to re-establish co-operation and to take forward discussions on asset recovery. The EU will be involved in discussions, as deemed appropriate.

I am grateful for that intervention. Let me make it clear: the British Government do not have a position on the ideal constitutional arrangement for the new Libya. That is a matter for the Libyan people to determine for themselves. There will be a referendum on the constitution of Libya....

I shall make only one point. I suspect that the Minister will not mention the matter of Crown Prince Mohammed, but perhaps he could write to me and my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham (Daniel Kawczynski) about what exactly the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's attitude is towards...

I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman's contribution. There are opportunities in the commercial sphere. A number of organisations have been referred to, such as the British Council and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and I add the BBC World Service, which can make a positive contribution to building democracy...

The business infrastructure in Libya is excellent, if we consider that it is in Africa. We should waste no opportunity to get in there again. I know that a number of companies are already there and that British companies have been kind of operating throughout the troubles over the past...

It is important that we grasp the opportunity to contribute commercially, which means creating jobs in our own constituencies. We, as parliamentarians, have a responsibility to be outward-looking on occasions such as this. Perhaps we should not focus purely on issues such as Europe, when big issues are happening around...

After the Kuwait war and the tremendous contribution made by British armed forces to that victory, a number of British companies in Kuwait felt that they would have an economic advantage, but it did not happen. Following other contributors to this debate, does the hon. Gentleman feel that more could...

I am delighted that last week, the UN voted unanimously to end the no-fly zone, which has now been lifted. The new resolution is another important landmark towards Libya's democratic future. The state has a historic opportunity to build on human rights and to ensure that freedoms are protected. We...

Does my hon. Friend regret that the Scottish Government have not apologised for what happened, given that although their action was taken on the assumption that the man had less than six months to live, he is, as far as I know, still alive?
Does my hon. Friend regret that the Scottish Government have not apologised for what happened, given that although their action was taken on the assumption that the man had less than six months to live, he is, as far as I know, still alive?
Yes, I totally concur with my hon. Friend. Indeed, I think that we were told that he had less than three months, not six months, to live, but he is still alive somewhere in Tripoli, two years on. So passionately did I feel about the release of al-Megrahi that I...

Thank you for calling me to speak in the debate, Mr Gray. Some time ago, the late Robin Cook—a man of considerable intellect and experience—spoke about an ethical foreign policy. This new drive, which would shape Britain's engagement with countries around the world, would be based on our ability to...

I agree. In fact, my understanding is that one of the people involved in his death was from Misrata, and his sister had been raped by Libyan soldiers loyal to Colonel Gaddafi, so I concur with my hon. Friend. To return to the point made by my hon. Friend the...
