[12538]
§ The Prime Minister[holding answer 27 October 1997]: Any new information is scrutinised carefully. The Lockerbie investigation remains open and its work is kept under constant review. The Lord Advocate has stated that he is satisfied, on the information available to him, that there is no reason not to proceed with the petitions against the Libyans accused of the Lockerbie bombing. Until Libya complies with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions, sanctions should be maintained.
