A Cambridgeshire MP says Libyan soldiers should no longer be trained at Bassingbourn Barracks following a string of sex attacks.

Three Libyan men, who are undergoing training at the barracks, were charged with sexual assault after three women were attacked in Cambridge last Sunday.

The South Cambridgeshire MP Andrew Lansley says the Ministry of Defence should end the training programme at the base.
