uin	HL1337
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2017 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary raised the issue of compensation for the victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism during his meeting with Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli on 4 May 2017 and again on his most recent visit in August. He emphasised again the importance the UK places on this issue and encouraged the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims' groups and their representatives. Prime Minister Serraj expressed sympathy with those who had suffered from the previous regime, but it was also clear from his discussion with the Foreign Secretary that the Libyan Government continues to face numerous challenges and that progress on the issue of compensation is likely to remain slow. We continue to make clear to the Libyan authorities that this is a priority issue for the UK. We will continue to raise the subject of legacy at every opportunity.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/09/2017 15:34:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
