HC Deb 02 February 1994 vol 236 c751W
33. Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what agreements have been made with other EC states and the United Nations on policy on the use of air strikes to protect(a) Bosnian Muslims and (b) humanitarian aid.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

At the NATO summit on 10–11 January, allies reaffirmed their readiness, in accordance with relevant UN Security Council resolutions, to carry out air strikes to prevent the strangulation of Sarajevo and other threatened areas. NATO is also prepared to use air power, if requested, in support of UNPROFOR operations, including the delivery of humanitarian aid.
