To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has drawn up to implement the proposed safe areas in Bosnia; and if he will make a statement.

The plan to implement the concept of safe areas is a matter for the UN and the UN Secretary General's report S/25939 of 14 June 1993 detailed how this might be done. The Secretary General's report was endorsed and authorised in the UN Security Council by the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 844 of 19 June 1993.
