HC Deb 23 March 1990 vol 169 c792W
Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will support efforts to ensure the Cambodians in the Thailand border camps come under the supervision of the United Nations.

Mr. Sainsbury

Camps for displaced persons along the Thai-Cambodian border are administered by the Cambodian resistance factions themselves. But the United Nations has contributed to humanitarian assistance in the camps for a number of years. The creation of neutral sites under direct United Nations administration may be: necessary as part of a comprehensive political settlement leading to free and fair elections in Cambodia.
