<p>As my Rt Hon Friend the Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Grant Shapps MP), Minister
of State at the Department for International Development, set out last week, the Government
sympathises with the plight of those former public servants who are entitled to a
Zimbabwe government pension. We have not calculated the amounts involved because the
UK has no legal obligation or responsibility for these. Responsibility rests with
the Zimbabwean government. We continue to remind the relevant authorities in Zimbabwe
of this legal commitment.</p>
