Libya
« Alastair Campbell/FPA Statement | Back to most recent briefing | Constitutional Reforms »
Asked what action the Libyans would need to take before the Prime Minister would agree to meet with Colonel Gaddafi, the PMOS said that it was important to take things one step at a time. The first step had been made on 19 December 2003 when Libya had made an historic announcement on WMD. The next step was today’s meeting with the Libyan Foreign Minister, which was happening at a time when progress was genuinely being made on the WMD issue. Obviously we wanted to see a continuation of that progress. It was not impossible that further steps might be taken further down the road, but we were not yet at that point.
Questioned as to whether the case of WPC Yvonne Fletcher would be discussed at today’s meeting with the Libyan Foreign Minister, the PMOS said that the investigation into WPC Fletcher’s murder was an operational matter for the Met Police – which, as the Libyans were well aware, we supported in full.
