answer text <p>​The British Government is deeply concerned about the human rights situation in Zimbabwe, particularly the continuing harassment and detention of political activists ahead of Presidential elections in 2018. We frequently raise our concerns with the Zimbabwean government, urging it to end abuses and restore internationally accepted standards. Our Ambassador in Harare most recently raised these concerns with the Zimbabwean Foreign Ministry on 17 June and officials in London raised them with the Zimbabwean Embassy on 19 June.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​We regularly discuss Zimbabwe's serious economic problems with its government, including rising inflation fuelled by monetary financing of the budget deficit. We agree with the May 2017 IMF recommendations for the government to take urgent action to curtail public expenditure and refrain from further central bank financing. Zimbabwe urgently needs to embark upon a comprehensive package of reforms through full re-engagement with the International Financial Institutions. We have been clear that this will require genuine commitment to reform in both the economic and governance spheres. Our Ambassador in Harare raised this with the Minister of Finance in April.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​The Government remains in close contact with EU counterparts on the 2018 Presidential elections in Zimbabwe. We share a concern about the risks of the elections not being free and fair, especially because of voter registration, human rights violations and restrictions on political activity. The EU is funding a UNDP programme to support the elections in 2018, which we regularly review and discuss with EU counterparts.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Between April 2009 and March 2011, the Department mailed women born between 6th April 1950 and 5th April 1953, informing them of their State Pension age under the 1995 Pensions Act. This involved sending 1.16 million letters to the affected women.</p><p>Following the 2011 changes, DWP wrote to individuals directly affected to inform them of the change to their State Pension age. This applied to women born between 6th April 1953 and 5th April 1960. These letters were sent between January 2012 and November 2013. This involved sending 5.77 million letters to the affected men and women.</p><p>In addition to writing directly to those affected, the Government provided a range of information in order for all individuals to be able to find out their State Pension age and conditions of their benefits. For example, following the Pensions Act 1995, State Pension estimates, issued to individuals on request, made the changes clear. Since 2000, the Department has issued 14 million State Pension estimates on request. Between 2003 and 2006, the Department issued about 16 million automatic pension forecasts, which were accompanied by a leaflet about State Pension age including equalisation. DWP also ran a pensions education campaign in 2004, which included informing people of the future equalisation of State Pension.</p>
