Retired diplomat Sir Jeremy Greenstock says the situation in Libya is contributing to the ease with which migrants can be smuggled out of the country. But he says stability is only part of the issue.

Here is a great example of the difference in language sometimes applied by politicians.
The government's strategy on Libya has failed, the Daily Politics' Andrew Neil says to William Hague.
"It hasn't succeeded so far," says Mr Hauge.
"But in all that time I don't remember any constructive advice from the opposition benches of the House of Commons," he adds.

Should Labour be lecturing anyone on post conflict planning given its own lamentable record? Mr Coaker is asked on the Daily Policis.
Mr Coaker says Labour isn't "trying to lecture people" what it is trying to do is have a debate and discussion about defence.
"We're trying to point out the importance of the development of policy to take into account post conflict planning," he adds.
He says Labour has itself pointed out that lessons need to be learned from the last of post conflict planning in Iraq in particular.

Ed Miliband's attack on David Cameron's record on Libya is "a new low in shallow opportunism", William Hague tells the BBC News channel.
The former foreign secretary claims the Labour leader has "shown little interest or knowledge of foreign affairs".
It was a "shabby speech", Mr Hague declares.

Labour's shadow defence secretary, Vernon Coaker, is asked when Ed Miliband requested to see post-conflict plans in relation to Libya, given his apparent concerns.
Mr Coaker tells the Daily Politics that Mr Miliband has consistently raised the need to learn the lessons of post-conflict planning.
Mr Coaker cannot however give specific examples. Under pressure, he says Mr Miliband raised the issue of post conflict planning in 2011. He adds that Mr Miliband raised it again in February 2015.

Alan, Bromley:
I'm not sure Miliband has gauged the mood of the British people right. I think most of us are fed up with being a great world power. The Scandinavian countries seem to do fine by keeping out of it.
Ed Miliband criticises the UK's waning influence, as he sees it, this time in regard to the crisis unfolding in the Mediterranean.
He explains that Labour supported military action to avoid the slaughter the Gaddafi regime threatened in Benghazi in 2011.
Quote MessageBut since the action, the failure of post conflict planning has been obvious. David Cameron was wrong to assume that Libya was a country whose institutions could simply be left to evolve and transform themselves. What we have seen in Libya is that when tensions over power and resource began to emerge, they simply reinforced deep seated ideological and ethnic fault lines in the country, meaning the hopes of the revolutionary uprisings quickly began to unravel. The tragedy is this could have been anticipated and it should have been avoided. And Britain could have played its part in ensuring the international community stood by the people of Libya in practice rather than standing behind the unfounded hopes of potential progress only in principle."

David Ferris:
English votes for English laws sounds great until you remember that the Barnett formula means that English funding decisions directly impact Scottish funding. As long as the Barnett formula exists there's almost no such thing as an English law that doesn't effect Scotland.
And frankly we're one nation, not four, and having the Tories/SNP/Plaid pretending otherwise doesn't help anyone.

"As we seek to re-engage in this way we need to learn lessons both of this government and of the government that went before. In particular learning the lessons of 2003 Iraq war.
"There are a number of lessons: For when military action is appropriate - for me it should be a last resort - for how we work through multilateral institutions and with regional partners and in ensuring there is always a plan for peace."

David Winch, Cumbria:
Getting the impression that frantic politicians are making ever more bizarre statements in a bid to have some impact before 7 May.
Former Foreign Secretary William Hague who is bowing out of politics after this election but is travelling with, and campaigning with, the prime minister today says:"Foreign policy is not something you can just discover 13 days before polling day. This is the first time in five years that Ed Miliband has troubled himself to give a full length speech on foreign policy."

Ed Miliband says the biggest threat to Britain's status is on the European Union - he condemns the "threat" of an in-out referendum which, he claims, has no timetable and no goals for renegotiation from a governing party "riven" with internal divisions.
"I think all of this poses a grave risk to Britain's position in the world. Of course the European Union needs to change; there are demands for it to change in almost every other nation state - on immmigation, on benefits, on the rights of national parliaments. And Britain should be leading the process of reform," he says.
But he says EU leaders are reluctant to support the UK's stance because they think we have "one foot out of the door".
