HL Deb 18 February 1999 vol 597 c90WA
The Earl of Lindsey and Abingdon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to recent statements made by the Zimbabwean authorities that British agents have contributed to the undermining of that country's economy. [HL1012]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

Her Majesty's Government do not believe that President Mugabe was referring to agents of the UK Government in his televised speech on 6 February. The Government have always supported social, economic and political development in Zimbabwe in the interests of stability.
