Proceeding contribution from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Zimbabwe.


Zimbabwe

This report does not, but I remind the hon. Gentleman that the group's last report entitled "The Other Side of the Coin" was on exactly that issue. It focused on corruption in Africa, and in particular on the corrupt relationships between people in this country and in Africa. The hon. Member for Stone (Mr. Cash) has taken a close interest in the matter and brought a Bill before the House. Similarly, I brought forward an International Bribery and Corruption Bill 12 years ago. We are both happy that the Government have brought forward the Bribery Bill, which is before the House and will hopefully be on the statute book before the election.
