To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with the National Transitional Council in Libya concerning the location of non-portable air defence systems taken from a Qaddafi ammunition depot in the city of Ga's; and what steps his has taken regarding this matter.

Proliferation issues in Libya have been a National Transitional Council priority since Libya’s crisis began. We have raised the subject with them regularly, to ensure that weapons are secured and the situation closely monitored. The NTC has achieved much in tackling security across Libya in recent weeks, by establishing clear command and control structures and ensuring safekeeping of weapons. This remains a priority for the Government and we will continue to raise with the NTC and discuss ways we can support their efforts to counter proliferation.
