Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the presidential and parliamentary elections held in Namibia in November; and if he will make a statement.

Answer: Mr. Moore: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the presidential and parliamentary elections held in Namibia in November; and if he will make a statement. [199500] Mr. Mullin: In August 2004, the Southern African Development Community agreed a set of principles by which free and fair elections in the region would be judged. We believe the General and Presidential elections held in Namibia on 15/16 November accorded well with those principles.
