<p>The former Labour government did &#8220;all it could&#8221; to help Libya secure the release of the Lockerbie bomber, Britain&#8217;s top civil servant is expected to say on Monday.</p>
<p>Sir Gus O&#8217;Donnell reportedly makes the admission in a review of the process that led to Abdelbaset al-Megrahi being freed on compassionate grounds in August 2009.</p>
<p>Prime Minister David Cameron is due to make a statement to MPs after a dossier of official documents shedding light on the controversy is published.</p>
<p>In an accompanying summary, Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus apparently concludes: &#8220;Policy was, therefore, progressively developed that Her Majesty&#8217;s Government should do all it could, while respecting devolved competencies, to facilitate an appeal by the Libyans to the Scottish government for Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi&#8217;s release under the Prisoner Transfer Agreement (PTA) or for release on compassionate grounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Such an approach was understood across all relevant departments.&#8221;</p>
