Mr. Peter Duncan: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make provision for Zimbabwean
farmers who have had their land removed from them, and have been forced to leave their home country, to receive compensation for
their loss. [12095]
Mr. Bradshaw: The Government of Zimbabwe are responsible for land seizures in that country. They remain responsible for meeting
their legal obligations in implementing land reform. In Abuja, my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary reaffirmed our willingness
to make a significant contribution to a fair, effective and sustainable land reform programme on the basis of the UNDP proposals of
December 2000. He made it clear that our support for land reform depended on action by the Government of Zimbabwe to implement the
commitments it made in Abuja. We have so far seen little evidence of such implementation. We understand that UNDP have an assessment
mission in Zimbabwe at the moment looking at the prospects for a credible land reform programme. We welcome this. But in the
circumstances, it is too soon to speculate on a possible UK financial contribution and the possible arrangements for payment.
