Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government helped Libyan exiles or British Libyans living in the UK to travel to Libya in 2011.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office did not help Libyan exiles or British-Libyan dual nationals living in the UK to travel to Libya in 2011. Our Travel Advice during the 2011 conflict clearly advised against all travel to Libya. In light of the improving security situation from September 2011, we downgraded our advice in some areas, including Tripoli and Benghazi, to advise against all but essential travel.
