To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will ask the Moroccan Ambassador to explain the use of combat or surveillance drones over the Berm dividing Western Sahara.

The UK regularly discusses the situation in Western Sahara with the parties. We continue to urge the parties to avoid further escalation, return to a ceasefire and re-engage with the UN-led political process.
