Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he has taken to ensure the implementation of UN resolution 690/1991 on western Sahara.
Mr. Douglas Hogg
Security Council resolution 690 (1991) approved the establishment of a United Nations mission for the referendum in the western Sahara (MINURSO). We have contributed towards the cost of MINURSO and provided 15 military observers. We continue to give the Secretary-General our full support in seeking an early settlement of the western Sahara dispute.
