asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the value of military assistance to date given to the Zimbabwe Government; what form that assistance takes; and if he will make a statement.

It is not Her Majesty's Government's policy to reveal the details of military assistance provided to other countries, since they are regarded as confidential. However, I can confirm that Her Majesty's Government have provided substantial support to Zimbabwe mainly in the form of the British military advisory training team.
