As the Minister will know, I have been very critical of the EU-Turkey arrangement and the move towards further third party arrangements between the EU and other countries. With that in mind, I ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the proposed EU-Libya migration deal. Does he have concerns about Libya's ability to provide a secure and safe haven for refugees?

Will the Minister tell us if our Government supports this further third-country arrangement with Libya, which has been described by human rights bodies as being in the midst of a human rights crisis?
