MP calls for debate on Libya ahead of demonstration by Swansea's Libyan community

CITY MP Geraint Davies has called for a debate on Libya as he told MPs about a demonstration due to take place today by Swansea's Libyan community.

Speaking during business questions, the Labour MP said: "In Swansea, the Libyan community will be gathering in support of a no-fly zone over Libya to stop the wholesale massacre of unarmed civilians. They also want us to consider the idea of an Arab-led ground force under the United Nations flag.

"When will we have an opportunity to debate these important issues, which are particularly important for those who have loved ones in Libya who are currently being killed?"

The Leader of the House Sir George Young said: "The Hon Gentleman will know that I have announced a debate for next Thursday on north Africa and the middle east. Nato is considering a range of options, including the establishment of a no-fly zone, and in the UN Security Council we are working closely with partners, on a contingency basis, on elements of a resolution on a no-fly zone."

The demonstration will take place at 1pm at Castle Square.
