HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 c586W
40. Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment his Department has made of the prospects for stability Mozambique.

Mr. Renton

Despite the Nkomati Accord the Mozambique Government is still faced by serious security problems. The prospects of stability depend on a number of factors, including the degree of cooperation afforded by the international community. The assistance given by us and other Western Governments should hasten the restoration of peace in Mozambique to the benefit of the people of that country, its Commonwealth neighbours and the region as a whole.
