Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Polisario Front on (a) regional stability and (b) international security.

The FCDO regards the Polisario Front as a pro-independence movement and party to a UN-mediated dispute. The UK Government continues to support UN-led efforts to reach a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution, based on compromise, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.
