To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 29 January 2021 to Question 141623 on Western Sahara: Sovereignty, whether it is his policy that the status of Western Sahara is as a Non-Self-Governing Territory in the process of decolonisation.

As the Foreign Secretary stated on 11 December 2020, the UK regards the status of Western Sahara as undetermined. We take note of the UN's position on the status of Western Sahara, which is set out on its website: https://www.un.org/dppa/decolonization/en/nsgt/western-sahara
