Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Libyan soldiers training in the UK have withdrawn from the training programme voluntarily; and how soon after withdrawing from the programme each such soldier returned to Libya.

One hundred Libyan personnel withdrew from training. Of these, fewer than ten were asked by the UK to leave. All personnel who ceased training early to return to Libya left the UK in accordance with timescales agreed with the Libyan Government.
