The Secretary General to the United Nations made it clear to the Libyans before the Lockerbie trial that those found guilty under Scottish law would serve their prison sentence in Scotland. The Libyan Government responded in writing and confirmed that:“The suspects, if convicted, will serve their prison sentence in Scotland under U.N. supervision and with assured access to a Libyan consulate to be established in Scotland, in accordance with the arrangements reached with the British Government.”There has been no discussion with the Libyan authorities about a possible transfer of Mr Al Megrahi from a Scottish jail.
