Families of IRA victims meet Government officials

Representatives of victims of IRA terrorism have held their first meeting with officials from the Foreign Office and Downing Street since Prime Minister Gordon Brown's weekend offer of support in their battle for compensation from Libya.

The victims' lawyers, Jason McCue and Lord Brennan QC, met officials including one of Mr Brown's private secretaries for the 45-minute meeting at 10 Downing Street.
