<p>We are extremely concerned about the growing threat from extremist groups in Libya,
including Daesh. The recent attacks in the Oil Crescent and Zliten in western Libya
show the threat that these groups pose to the stability of Libya and the region, and
potentially to the UK and our interests. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond)
spoke to Prime Minister Designate, Fayez al-Serraj, on 10 January to stress the importance
of the Government of National Accord forming quickly, and to emphasise the UK Government’s
commitment to supporting the new government to tackle the threats from Daesh and people
smuggling.</p>
