The Daily Telegraph has revealed that a number of huge contacts in Libya including the construction of “Gaddafi Tower” and a five star hotel have been awarded to firms with Labour links.
The contracts are likely to lead to renewed scrutiny of British trade links with Libya in the wake of Mr Blair agreeing a controversial deal with Colonel Gaddafi during his final months in Downing Street.Under the terms of the deal, Britain agreed to share policing, health and military expertise with the dictatorship. Ministers also supported the release of Abdelbaset al Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, on humanitarian grounds by the Scottish Government.
