Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what information his Department holds on the (a) timing, (b) UK representation and (c) UK objectives for the UN-led national conference on Libya.

​We fully support the next steps in the UN Action Plan for Libya, as set out by the Special Representative of the Secretary General, including plans to convene a wide range of Libyan stakeholders at a National Conference in early 2019. We continue to engage with UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on preparatory work for the National Conference and support the objective of ensuring that a broad spectrum of Libyan society is represented. It is not yet clear whether international participation will be appropriate.
