HC Deb 03 April 1996 vol 275 c280W
34. Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to bring forward the date of a referendum on the future of the Western Sahara; and if he will make a statement. [22647]

Mr. Hanley

We continue to urge full co-operation with the UN operation in the Western Sahara by Morocco and Polisario, which would establish the date for a referendum. In our view, the earlier the details of the referendum can be agreed, the better.
