Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when the Libya Reconciliation Unit last discussed with the Libyan Government of National Accord the matter of compensation for victims of IRA terrorism where Semtex and weapons were supplied by Libya.

At every opportunity, we continue to stress to the Libyan authorities that the resolution of legacy issues is a priority. The Foreign Secretary and Mr Ellwood raised the issue of compensation during their respective meetings with Prime Minister Serraj and Deputy Prime Minister Maiteq during the London Ministerial on 31 October 2016. We will continue to encourage the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims, and their legal representatives, seeking redress, including those seeking compensation.
