Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he last made representations to (a) his Moroccan counterpart and (b) the Moroccan Ambassador on the continuing hostilities between Morocco and the Polisario Front resulting from the Moroccan breach of the 1991 ceasefire agreement in Western Sahara.

We are closely monitoring the situation in Western Sahara and note reports of breaches on both sides. We are in regular contact with the parties, including Morocco. We continue to urge the parties to avoid further escalation, return to the ceasefire agreement, and re-engage with the UN-led political process.
