§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he will decide whether British troops will be deployed in Bosnia this winter; and what are the crucial factors affecting that decision.
§ Mr. HanleyThe deployment of British forces in Bosnia is kept under constant review. A decision on whether the current deployment will continue through the winter will be taken later this year and will take account of factors such as the situation on the ground, humanitarian needs, UNPROFOR's ability to carry out its mandate without unacceptable risk to the safety of its forces, and progress towards an overall peace agreement.
