HC Deb 24 February 1994 vol 238 cc383-4W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what reports he has received of fighting around Prozar and Gorni Vakuf on 11 February; what reports he has received from UNPROFOR about the firing of shells by Muslim forces into civilian areas; and whether Her Majesty's Government will propose air strikes against Muslim forces at the next meeting of NATO.

Mr. Hanley

We have not received any reports of fighting around Prozar on 11 February. In Gorni Vakuf, small arms fire was reported on the 11th, and there have been periodic reports of the shelling of civilian areas by all three factions in Bosnia. The North Atlantic Council meeting of 9 February gave authority for air strikes, against whatever party, in the event of further bombardment of Sarajevo, or failure to withdraw heavy weapons from the 20 km exclusion zone.
