<p>I share My Right Honourable Friend’s concerns about the devastating impact of land
seizures in Zimbabwe. The British Embassy in Harare frequently raises land security
– and the importance of upholding the rule of law – with the Government of Zimbabwe.
Most recently, they highlighted the British Government’s serious concerns that the
seizure of the land of Zimbabwean farmer, Mr Philip Rankin, did not follow the provisions
of the Zimbabwean constitution. The British Government has always said that it would
support a fair, transparent and pro-poor land reform programme in Zimbabwe. This is
vital if Zimbabwe is to realise its great economic and social potential.</p>
