Britain is to expel the remaining staff at the Libyan embassy in Britain.
The Foreign Secretary William Hague will announce the measure at a press conference in London on Wednesday morning.
Mr Hague is also expected to announce that Britain has taken the decision to formally recognise Libya's rebels as the country's legitimate government.

While other stories indicate the NATO effort in Libya has been an abysmal failure, including one in FR Breaking News headlined “France, Britain seek exit from Libya”.
There is going to be three months of pushing and shoving at the gate. Two months of wrestling at the door. Then they will be back at the gate.
Sounds like the beginning of the end for NATO.
The real question is why in the hell does any country spend all that money to put an embassy anywhere, this crap dates back to the days of wood sail ships and six month communication cycles. A single room with some date terminals is all that is needed today. Screw the diplomatic parties, the whole world is going broke.
The supreme irony about all this is that, if Gaddafi goes, everyone will be squawking about the guy who replaces him, who will, without a doubt, be infinitely worse.
Moreover, once NATO endorses war for regime change, as it has now done, every world leader is fair game - including the leaders of those same NATO countries.
From every angle, this whole Libya thing stinks.
Justice may be a while coming for the Lockerbie bombing but it comes not the less, this is the West and not a banana republic-we don’t accept money for the lives of innocents.
This is some "no fly zone."
