HL Deb 20 February 1996 vol 569 c67WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consider trade sanctions against Libya arc giving the country value for money.

Lord Chesham

Sanctions against Libya cannot he evaluated in terms of value for money. The aim of sanctions is to ensure that Libya complies with its international obligations. In any case British exports to Libya rose 15 per cent. in 1995.
