question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the security situation in Sabratha.
tabling member constituency	Islington South and Finsbury
tabling member printed	Emily Thornberry
uin	191338
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2018 answer text <p>The recent violence in Sabratha is deeply concerning. There has been some progress in recent weeks in establishing a Security Arrangements Committee for Tripoli, in order to avoid a repeat of the violence the capital experienced over the summer. The fighting in Sabratha highlights the challenges that exist beyond Tripoli, and the need for more sustainable security arrangements across the whole of Libya. The UK is clear that the only way of achieving security and stability is through an inclusive political settlement. The recent Palermo Conference demonstrated broad support for the next steps in implementing the UN Action Plan, as set out by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General Salamé in his 8 November briefing to the UN Security Council. This includes the convening of a National Conference in early 2019, with a view to creating the conditions for elections in the course of 2019. The UK remains actively engaged in efforts to promote the UN-led political process and has allocated £12 million through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund this year to boost political participation and economic development, and to support the delivery of greater security, stability and resilience, including through tackling extremism.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/11/2018 12:02:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	191339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>It is important that a constitutional referendum enjoys widespread political support across Libya, as well as a sound legal basis. It is for the relevant Libyan authorities to determine the legitimacy of any legislative votes, according to Libyan law. From our diplomatic engagement with Libyan institutions, we are unaware of approved legislation to prepare for a referendum having been formally passed to the High National Electoral Commission. Agreement on a way forward on Libya's Constitution is a key element of the UN Action Plan for Libya, and will be one of the issues we expect to be discussed by the National Conference UN Special Representative Ghassan Salamé intends to convene in Libya in early 2019.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 191340 191341 191342 question first answered 22/11/2018 17:44:09 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
