I therefore have no current plans to raise this issue with the Moroccan Ambassador. The UK's longstanding position is to support the efforts of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to achieve a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution to the situation in Western Sahara, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara in the context of arrangements consistent with the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:40:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
