Part of the debate – in the House of Lords at 3:15 pm on 8 October 2008.
My Lords, the Foreign Secretary's Statement to the House of Commons on Monday made our position clear: Zimbabwe's people want the agreement between the MDC and ZANU-PF that was signed on paper to work in practice. That needs a Cabinet to be appointed without further delay which reforms Zimbabwe's economic management and the behaviour of its security forces. We continue to provide humanitarian relief to the Zimbabwean people. We remain ready to support recovery when a new Government show commitment to reform.
