To ask the Prime Minister on what occasions since 1980 Her Majesty's Government have made representations of concern to the Zimbabwean Government about the abuse of human rights in Zimbabwe; and what has been the cause of this concern.

We are opposed to abuses of human rights wherever they occur. We have made a number of representations since 1980 on behalf of individuals detained without charge in Zimbabwe, including most recently Mr. Lewis-Walker, Mrs. Brown, Mr. Clive Harding and Mr. Ivor Harding, all of whom were subsequently released.
