We need to tackle this threat wherever it arises, and that is why we are engaging the new Libyan government on this issue as a high priority.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2016 answer text <p>We are encouraging the EU counter-migration mission, Operation SOPHIA, to increase its role in tackling irregular migration across the Central Mediterranean. Indeed, earlier this week the EU Foreign Affairs Council agreed on the need to evaluate options for increasing SOPHIA's impact on human trafficking networks. This may include broader security support to the legitimate Libyan authorities, for example through potential capacity building. The UK currently has HMS ENTERPRISE deployed in support of Operation SOPHIA, and although we have no immediate plans to increase naval patrols in the Mediterranean, we are keeping our contribution under review as the operation's requirements change.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 22/04/2016 13:08:38 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
