HC Deb 03 June 1991 vol 192 cc48-9W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what actions have been taken by Her Majesty's Government's representatives at the UN in supporting a referendum in the western Sahara; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Together with the other permanent members of the Security Council, we approved the secretary-general's plan on 22 April, subsequently endorsed by the Security Council on 29 April. We shall continue to do everything possible to assist the secretary-general. His plan is the best way to bring this dispute to an end.
