Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with representatives of the trade union movement in Zimbabwe.

The Foreign Secretary has not had discussions with representatives of the trade union movement in Zimbabwe. The British Embassy in Harare regularly engages with trade unions such as the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, most recently in December 2020 on workers' rights. The British Embassy also regularly engages unions of teachers, doctors and informal traders to better understand the political and economic issues facing Zimbabwe.
