Mr. Hoon

I have no immediate plans to meet with either the Government of Morocco or the Polisario. However, FCO officials regularly meet with both sides to discuss the way forward in the Western Sahara.

Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps the Government intend to take to secure the implementation of the UN Peace Plan for a Referendum in Western Sahara. [90437]

We fully support the UN's efforts to hold a referendum in the Western Sahara. We keep pressure on both parties to adhere to the UN Secretary-General's deadlines both bilaterally and at the UN.
