§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Prime Minister what progress has been made by the United Nations in creating a mechanism to allow the trial by a neutral body of the Libyans alleged to be responsible for the Lockerbie bombing; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Prime Minister[holding answer 2 March 1992]: UN Security Council resolution 731 makes no provision for any such mechanism. We now await a report from the UN Secretary-General about his recent efforts under that resolution to secure Libyan compliance with it.
