HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c111W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to send official representatives to Tripoli to observe proceedings at the inquiry into events leading up to the siege of the Libyan People's Bureau in St. James's square earlier in the current year.

Mr. Luce

According to press reports Dr. Ali Treiki, the Libyan Secretary for Foreign Liaison, invited "neutral British legal observers" to attend the inquiry. There is no question of official British participation. The proper course would have been for the Libyans to have made it possible for the British authorities to investigate the very serious offences committed within our jurisdiction.
