We have been discussing this matter with the Libyan authorities, not the Syrian government.
While we do not intend to negotiate a compensation settlement with the Libyan authorities,
once stability returns, and our Embassy re-opens, we will again encourage the Libyans
to engage with UK victims seeking redress, including those seeking compensation and
their legal representatives. The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for
Witney (Mr Cameron), has said that he is committed to doing this and has asked the
National Security Advisor to lead cross-government efforts to engage the Libyans on
reconciliation initiatives. The Government will also continue to promote broad and
lasting reconciliation between Libya and affected UK communities.
