Consultants hit by the fighting in Libya have responded with caution to suggestions that existing contracts struck under the Gaddafi regime will be honoured by the next regime.

John Southgate, director of design and infrastructure at Capita Symonds ,told 好色先生TV he had heard such reassurances before but warned they were 鈥減remature鈥�.

The firm had been project managing a new airport in Benghazi before it was bombed in February, forcing it to withdraw three UK-based staff and 13 Libyan nationals to areas of safety.

鈥淲e are keen to go back and support rebuilding when it is safe to do so,鈥� Southgate said. 鈥淲e have talked occasionally over the past few months to our clients and to our Libyan staff there.鈥�

He added that he was worried by reports that other countries had been more active than the UK in securing rebuilding contracts.

鈥淎re the British government going to sit back and watch while the world cashes in?鈥� he said.

On Wednesday Guma Al-Gamati, UK coordinator of the Libyan Transitional Council, said that Gaddafi-era contracts 鈥渨ill be honoured鈥�.

Richard Steer, chief executive of Gleeds, said the company would not be 鈥渉olding its breath鈥� on promises of work in the country.

鈥淚鈥檓 not sure the rebels will want to honour all the deals, especially any unsavoury ones Gaddafi may have made,鈥� he said.
