Question
What assessment he has made of the United Nations' plans for the future role of UNAVEM III.
Answer

Mr. Lloyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the United Nations' plans for the future role of UNAVEM III, the United Nations Angola verification mission; and if he will make a statement. [1219] Sir Nicholas Bonsor: The UN Secretary-General currently plans to begin reducing UNAVEM III military forces by the end of December 1996 in the expectation that the mission will be completed as planned by February 1997. Such an outcome will, however, depend on the willingness of the Angolan parties to honour their commitment to the peace process. The Secretary-General will submit detailed recommendations on the future role of the UN in Angola by 20 November 1996.
