HC Deb 14 July 1986 vol 101 c373W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government have had any recent contacts with the Polisario Front; and if he will make a statement about the United Kingdom's relations with the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic.

Mr. Renton

There continue to be occasional informal contacts between Polisario representatives and Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials. These do not denote any change in our neutral policy towards the Western Sahara dispute. We do not recognise the "Sahara Arab Democratic Republic".
