§ Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress he has made in his contacts with the Government of Libya over the transfer from Libya of the two persons suspected of involvement in the Lockerbie air disaster; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe are continuing our efforts to persuade the Libyan Government to comply with our request, endorsed by UN Security Council resolution 731, to hand over the two Lockerbie suspects for trial in Scotland or the United States. If Libya does not implement this resolution, the sanctions regime imposed under Security Council resolution 748 will remain in place.
