HL Deb 13 February 2003 vol 644 cc131-2WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What advice the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is currently giving to British nationals intending to visit Zimbabwe; and whether the same advice is given to those going to Zimbabwe to participate in international sport. [HL1459]

Baroness Amos

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice for Zimbabwe is kept under constant review and regularly updated. The current version is on the Internet atwww.fco.gov.uk.

Foreign Office officials have been in regular contact with the England and Wales Cricket Board and Professional Cricketers' Association. During these contacts, the FCO officials have passed on factual information about the situation in Zimbabwe. They have also discussed the travel advice in some detail, but made clear that this advice applies equally to all British visitors to Zimbabwe.
