Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe
The hon. Gentleman has quite rightly outlined the facts and gave the statistics about land invasions, saying that something like 220,000 farm workers have been robbed of their jobs, their accommodation and a good quality of life. Does that statistic indicate that those of us who have stood up and opposed the farm invasions are seeking merely to support our kith and kin? We are concerned about Zimbabweans and the prosperity and future of their country. Is that not the position of the overwhelming majority of Members of this House who have taken an interest in Zimbabwe and land reform there?
