§ 15. Mr. Cyril D. TownsendTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future role of UNPROFOR. [36573]
§ Mr. PortilloSubject to the outcome of peace negotiations, we would expect UNPROFOR to be replaced by a NATO-led implementation force. The Government welcome the progress so far, but much remains to be done and UNPROFOR will continue to have a vital role to perform while the peace talks continue and until the implementation force is in place.
