asked the Prime Minister what information she received, prior to the United States air raid on Libya in April 1986, about the precise targets of the United States planes.

As I made clear in my statement to the House on 15 April 1986, we supported action directed against specific Libyan targets demonstrably involved in the conduct and support of terrorist activities.

asked the Prime Minister if she has received any further information from the American Administration since she gave clearance for Fl-11 bombers to fly from United Kingdom bases to Libya in April 1986; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

We remain in regular contact with the United States authorities about Libyan involvement in terrorism.

Mr. George Robertson
