Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the security situation in Libya.

We continue to monitor the security situation closely in Libya, including recent public protests across the country between 1-3 July. These were protests against the increased cost of living and lack of electricity, and dissatisfaction with the political elite. The UK is committed to supporting the UN-facilitated, Libyan-led and owned political process, including efforts to unblock the executive impasse and agree a pathway to presidential and parliamentary elections. UK travel advice continues to advise against all travel to Libya.
