HL Deb 05 April 2000 vol 611 c138WA
The Earl of Caithness

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will seek to have Zimbabwe's human rights record investigated by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group. [H L1729]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

Although deeply worrying, developments in Zimbabwe do not, at this stage, amount to serious or persistent violations of human rights which would trigger an investigation by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG).
