Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Lord Privy Seal, pursuant to his reply to the hon.

Mr. Luce

We are consulting the Governor and will reply to the hon. Member in due course.

Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Lord Privy Seal what date has been set for Zimbabwe Independence Day; and whether the Governor will be present at the celebrations.
