Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether Libyan General Force trainees and National Security Executive officers completed a security questionnaire in Arabic provided by the British Embassy in Libya; whether those questionnaires were analysed by his Department; and if he will make a statement.

All General Purpose Force trainees and national support element personnel were required to complete a questionnaire in Arabic as part of the screening process for Libyan trainees coming to the UK. This went beyond the standard visa process. They were analysed by the embassy staff in Libya.
