HC Deb 16 May 1986 vol 97 c562W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Prime Minister what weight was given to the bombing of the discotheque in Berlin in her decision to authorise the use of British bases to bomb Libya.

The Prime Minister

The Government's decision was made in the light of clear evidence of the Libyan state's complicity in terrorist activity. Evidence of Libya's role in the Berlin bombing was one factor of that decision.
