Proceeding contribution from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Urbanisation (Developing Countries).


Urbanisation (Developing Countries)

: What the hon. Gentleman says about Zimbabwe is right, and he is right to speak out against it. May I invite him to speak out as loudly and passionately about the very similar slum clearances in Lagos, Nairobi and Khartoum? The danger of always focusing only on Zimbabwe is that we allow Mugabe the excuse that we speak out on Zimbabwe because we are angry about white property rights being taken away and that we do not speak out with the same passion when the Government of the Sudan, for instance, bulldozes camps around Khartoum.
