WESTERN SAHARA

Early day motion 214, tabled 14 September 2001 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 51 members.

That this House believes that the people of the Western Sahara are entitled to their self-determination and regrets that since Moroccan occupation in 1974 may Saharawies have been forced to live in refugee camps in Algeria; deeply regrets that despite UN decisions and the establishment of MINURSO no referendum has yet been held; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to press the UN and Morocco to ensure that a genuine choice is shortly placed before the Saharawi people, including the option of the independence.

Signatures by party: Labour 33, Liberal Democrat 10, Labour/Co-operative 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Scottish National Party 2.
