Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 22 October 2008 in the House of Lords, by Lord Malloch-Brown (Labour).


Zimbabwe

Answer

My Lords, along with other EU states, we have condemned Robert Mugabe's unilateral allocation of ministerial portfolios. The allocation of portfolios needs to be agreed by all parties and reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people as expressed in the 29 March elections, which gave Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC a clear majority.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 22 October 2008 by Lord Blaker (Conservative).
