HC Deb 02 May 2000 vol 349 c73W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has received concerning violence near the Heglig oilfield north of Bentiu, southern Sudan; and if he will make a statement. [120266]

Mr. Hain

We continue to receive reports of fighting around and south of Bentiu in Unity State. We will maintain our efforts to push for a peace settlement which would end the suffering of those in the Sudan.
