HC Deb 23 March 1970 vol 798 c269W
91. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the negotiations between Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Libya have been completed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luard

I would refer my right hon. Friend to the answer he received on 26th January from my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Under-Secretary. The withdrawal of British troops is still proceeding satisfactorily with the full co-operation of the Libyan authorities. Other aspects of our relations with Libya are being covered in our continuing discussions.—[Vol. 794, c. 244.]
