HC Deb 05 December 1994 vol 251 c19W
Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his current policy on the safe areas in Bosnia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We fully support United Nations Security Council resolutions 824, which designates the cities of Sarajevo, Tuzla, Zepa, Gorazde, Bihac and Srebrenica as safe areas in Bosnia, and 836, which authorises UNPROFOR, acting in self-defence, to take the necessary measures, including the use of force, in reply to bombardments against the safe areas or to armed incursions into them.
