Proceeding contribution from Earl of Sandwich (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 April 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe
My Lords, the Minister rightly mentioned Zimbabweans in this country. We should pay tribute to the thousands who sought asylum here; they have made a real contribution. Unfortunately, a group of asylum seekers is due to be removed from this country. Will he confirm that the Government are considering this quite seriously at the moment, pending a court case? Will he urge his colleagues in the Home Office and the Foreign Office, who have made mistakes before—at considerable human cost—not to remove Zimbabweans forcibly at this time?
