Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent progress has been made on securing compensation for the victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA bombings.

The Foreign Secretary most recently raised the issue of compensation for victims of IRA terrorism during his meeting with Libyan Prime Minister Serraj on 31 October. The Government will continue to press this issue at every opportunity. However, the current instability in Libya means that there is unlikely to be a swift resolution of legacy issues.

Eligible UK victims of terrorism can apply for compensation under the domestic criminal injuries compensation scheme.
