HC Deb 13 April 1983 vol 40 c411W
39. Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will meet the Foreign Minister of Zimbabwe to discuss the release of funds held in Zimbabwe by citizens of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Onslow

Exchange controls are a matter for the Zimbabwean Government. We have frequently pointed out to them the difficulties that the controls are causing, particularly for elderly emigrants and people on low fixed incomes. The Zimbabwe Government have assured us that they will relax the controls as soon as financial circumstances permit.
