The Moroccan press have been making a big deal out of this sort of thing over the last few days, BBC have published a similar undivided map which MWN has reported several times over the weekend.
Seems to be more than just a mapping error, our new ambassador is keen to promote increased trade, and has stated to the Moroccans that the Poole Tanger ferry will start in September. Also there are a few UK based oil/gas companies getting permits for extraction in Morocco.
Since the Trump administration recognised Morocco's claim on the WS in return for increased ties with Israel, more and more countries are accepting Morocco's claim on the region.
Of course it could all be coincidence
PS the Politically correct name for the WS in Morocco is either the Southern Provinces or the Moroccan Sahara
