Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the threat posed to the UK by extremist training camps in southern Libya.
We keep the security situation in southern Libya under close review. We assess that a number of extremist groups consider that region to be an increasingly permissive environment. We continue to work closely with other Government Departments and agencies, particularly JTAC (the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre), to monitor, and consider how best to deal with, potential threats to the UK and UK interests.
