I welcome the courage of the Libyan forces who are fighting Daesh in Benghazi, Sirte, and elsewhere. The defeat of Daesh in Libya will have a positive impact on the long term stability of Libya and the region. I welcome Prime Minister Serraj’s calls for all legitimate military and security forces in Libya to unite to form a unified command under the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) to defeat Daesh.</p><p>But it is also important to consider what comes after the defeat of Daesh, in areas that they control. We are working closely with the new Libyan government and international partners to develop a comprehensive approach to defeating Daesh, and also to post-conflict reconstruction, including through the £10m UK CSSF allocation.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/07/2016 16:43:15 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2016 answer text <p>We welcome the progress made by the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) in recapturing Fallujah.

Furthermore, the UK will not enter into a process of sovereignty negotiations with which Gibraltar is not content.</p><p> </p><p>Ensuring a well functioning Gibraltar-Spain border is one of our top priorities. This has not changed. It will take some time for our future relationship with the EU to become clear, but there will be no immediate changes in Gibraltar’s circumstances. There will be no initial changes in the way people can travel or the way services can be sold. Over 12,000 people will still be able to commute across the Gibraltar-Spain border every day, including a significant number of Spanish workers. As we move forward in negotiating the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU, we will work in partnership with the Government of Gibraltar to ensure Gibraltar’s interests are protected and advanced.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 06/07/2016 14:00:38 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2016 answer text <p>Daesh is losing in Libya, as they are in Iraq and Syria. I welcome the courage of the Libyan forces who have faced them and are fighting Daesh in Benghazi, in Sirte, and elsewhere. This is a clear signal to Daesh from the Libyan people: Daesh is not wanted in Libya, they are not welcome, and they will be defeated.</p><p>The conflict in Sirte is not over and fighting there is continuing. After months of conflict the humanitarian situation in Sirte is expected to be serious, as it is across Libya. In addition to the humanitarian aid the UK is already providing to Libya, the UK has contributed $1m and a UK stabilisation adviser to the UNDP Stabilisation Facility, an initiative of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), supported by UNDP and the international community. The Facility will support the Libyan GNA to restore critical infrastructure destroyed by conflict and improve basic service delivery. This is a facility for all Libya and will benefit municipalities in the East, West and South of the country.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/06/2016 13:08:44 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
