HC Deb 03 December 1991 vol 200 c87W
Mr. O'Neill

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what consideration his Department has given to participating in United. Nations peace-keeping operations in(a) south-east Asia and (b) Europe.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The Secretary-General has asked us to provide three military observers for the United Nations advance mission in Cambodia—UNAMIC; we expect them to deploy shortly. The Secretary-General's special reprentative, Mr. Vance, is currently in Yugoslavia. He is expected to pursue his contacts with the Yugoslav parties as rapidly as possible so that the Secretary-General can present early recommendations to the Security Council, including any recommendation for the establishment of a United Nations peace-keeping operation in Yugoslavia.
