HL Deb 18 November 2003 vol 654 c275WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean on 8 October (WA 61), whether Libyan-supplied weapons have been used by the IRA, if so, in which incidents; whether there were any fatalities; what was the cost of any damage caused; and what were the amounts of any compensation paid to businesses and families. [HL5212]

Baroness Amos

There is evidence that Libya has been responsible in the past for supplying quantities of light and heavy weapons and explosives to the Provisional IRA. Compilation of the other information requested could only be done at disproportionate cost.
