Ministerial correction made by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Conservative) on Tuesday, 1 October 2019, in the House of Lords on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


Zimbabwe: Pensions

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.

We regularly press the Government of Zimbabwe on the importance of fulfilling their responsibilities to all those who are entitled to a Zimbabwe Government pension. In 2016, we secured written confirmation from the Government of Zimbabwe of their responsibility for these payments. In April 2019, we raised the issue of pensions with Finance Minister Ncube and he confirmed Zimbabwe's commitment to resume payments when the economic situation allows.
