HL Deb 30 March 2001 vol 624 c65WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are working to increase the effectiveness of the embargo on the export of British arms to Zimbabwe by encouraging other countries to join the embargo. [H1,1240]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal)

We have raised our concerns at the situation in Zimbabwe within the EU and without. Other countries are aware of the UK's arms embargo, as they are aware of how serious the situation in Zimbabwe has become.
