HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 c124W
23. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek to raise at the United Nations as a threat to world peace the expansionist policies of Libya on the African continent.

Mr. Luce

No. Her Majesty's Government view with concern any tendency to instability in Africa, but consider that at this stage it is for the African States to determine whether the consequences of Libyan policy there should be brought to the attention of the United Nations.
