§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received from the United Nations about the movements of Moroccan settlers into the Western Sahara for the purpose of registering for the referendum.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggSecurity Council resolution 907 sets out the criteria which individuals must meet to become eligible to vote in the planned referendum. In particular, prospective voters must be able to show evidence of a link with the Western Sahara extending back to at least 1974. Settlers without such links are therefore excluded from the referendum. It is the responsibility of the UN Identification Commission to ensure that these provisions are complied with.
