Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the present security situation in Libya, and (2) the safety of UK citizens resident in that country.

We welcome recent positive developments and the commitment shown by Libyans to engage constructively in the UN-led political process. These include agreement on a ceasefire, a unified transitional executive, and a roadmap to elections in December 2021. The UK is actively engaged in international diplomatic efforts, in support of the UN, to help Libyans find a sustainable, inclusive political settlement for all Libyans.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advises against all travel to Libya. Consular support is not available from the British government from within Libya, as consular operations remain suspended. Further information is available at: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/libya.
