Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Zimbabwe Elections.
Zimbabwe Elections
The Foreign Secretary said a moment ago that Zimbabwe needed broad-based Government. Could he elaborate on that? As the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the hon. Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes), said earlier, the MDC won the parliamentary elections, in spite of the vote rigging and the violence. Morgan Tsvangirai would obviously have won an overwhelming victory in the presidential election, had it been free and fair. Does the Foreign Secretary agree that it would be a disgrace if Mugabe's ZANU-PF party was rewarded for its role in the violence with any position in a future Government?
