HC Deb 30 June 1994 vol 245 c679W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of Slate for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the French Government about its proposed military mission in Rwanda; and what assessment he has made about France's suitability for military involvement after its past involvement in that country.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have supported the French initiative. A military mission as authorised by Security Council resolution 929 has a specific and restricted humanitarian mandate.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what terms and conditions he has put on his support for the French initiative in Rwanda.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Under the terms of SCR 929, France is required to co-ordinate its initiative closely with the United Nations, and to complete its mission within two months.
