Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make representations to the Moroccan Ambassador on that country's breach of the 1991 ceasefire agreement with Polisario Front by the sending of troops into the buffer zone between Western Sahara and Mauritania.

We are closely monitoring the situation in Western Sahara. We continue to urge the parties to avoid further escalation, observe the ceasefire agreement, and return to the UN-led political process as soon as possible.
