G8: 2005 Summit

My Lords, I said, ““previous governments””. I am also aware of the discussions across the Dispatch Box on the issue of land and land reform. The perception, not only in South Africa and Zimbabwe but in many other African countries, is that on the question of land reform very little was said to support black Zimbabweans when their land was taken away. I have heard that view from those in Africa itself, and I have tried to bring it to the attention of the House.
