	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2015 answer text <p>The UK Government is very concerned by increasing violence across Libya and the threat posed to Libya’s democratic transition. The UK, along with France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the US, the EU, and the UN, issued a statement on 3 December expressing grave concern over the deteriorating situation in Libya, and condemned recent violence, including air strikes, which undermines the prospects for a negotiated settlement. The UK urges all actors to refrain from the use of violence to achieve political aims. In light of the deteriorating security situation the UK Government changed its travel advice on 26 July 2014 to advise against all travel to Libya and urged British Nationals in Libya to leave. This advice remains unchanged.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/01/2015 14:50:29 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
