§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking to ensure that the United Nations sponsored referendum on the future of the western Sahara takes place; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydWe remain concerned that a UN supervised referendum should be held soon and are encouraging the secretary-general in his efforts towards that goal. We have also made our views clear to the parties to the dispute.
