answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>​The UK is actively engaged in efforts to support the UN-led political process in Libya, the objective of which is to facilitate agreement with Libyans on a more inclusive political settlement, which would be the best way of stabilising the country. Constructive engagement by all stakeholders with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General Salamé's Action Plan, including the National Conference, is essential to its success. The sequencing of a constitutional referendum should be decided by the Libyan people. The High National Electoral Commission has said that it will only begin the preparatory process for a referendum once the appropriate political, legal and security conditions have been met. We understand that discussions between the House of Representatives and High State Council on the restructuring of the Presidency Council are ongoing.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 199359 question first answered 12/12/2018 16:14:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
