HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 c284W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of British troops in the Bosnian enclave of Gorazde; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Soames

British troops in Gorazde are making a very effective and highly valued contribution to UNPROFOR's efforts to stabilise the situation on the ground and to assist in the delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave. One of their current priorities is to facilitate the implementation of the four month cessation of hostilities agreement which came into effect on 1 January 1995.
