UN Security Council Resolutions 2259 and 2278 highlight the importance of the Libyan State financial institutions, including the National Oil Corporation, the Central Bank of Libya, and the Libyan Investment Authority, continuing to function for the benefit of all Libyans. The UK maintains regular contact with the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) on a range of issues, including the importance of resuming Libya's oil production to generate the vital revenue needed to enable the Government to provide essential services for the Libyan people, including electricity, healthcare, infrastructure, and other services. The most recent announcement by the National Oil Corporation Chairman in London on 24 January put national oil production at 715,000 barrels per day.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/02/2017 15:05:34 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
