My Lords, it is up to the people of Zimbabwe to ensure that they hold their Government to account; we can only offer assistance to ensure that the processes are as fair as possible. However, we will offer assistance if it is asked for.
Lord Renton of Mount Harry
Does my noble friend agree that the best way for us to assist in the economic recovery in Zimbabwe would be to offer President Mugabe a safe, comfortable and well looked-after home in Britain?
Baroness Verma
My Lords, my noble friend’s suggestion is interesting but I think that I will not comment on it further.
