answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2015 answer text <p>We receive regular representations from members of the House of Representatives (also known as Council of Deputies) and other parties in Libya. The UK welcomes the statement of support for a Government of National Accord in Libya signed by the majority of House of Representatives members on November 24, and notes that a majority of General National Congress members in Tripoli also stand firmly in support of a Government of National Accord. Only such a Government can begin the difficult work of establishing effective, legitimate governance, restoring stability, and preserving the unity of the country, as expected by all Libyans. We fully support the UN process led by Special Representative of the Secretary General Martin Kobler as he works to facilitate Libya’s political transition.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 04/12/2015 12:54:12 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2015 answer text <p>We are extremely concerned about the growing threat from extremist groups present along the Mediterranean shoreline, including Daesh and groups affiliated with it. These groups pose potential threats to the UK and our interests and citizens overseas, as well as a threat to stability in the region. Where Daesh has a foothold on the Mediterranean shoreline in Libya, we are working closely with international partners to develop our understanding of its presence, and how to tackle it there. We are supporting UN-led efforts to establish a Government of National Accord (GNA) in Libya, which will be crucial in the long term to tackling the Daesh threat present in that county and across the region.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 04/12/2015 12:49:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
