With the International Cricket Council saying it will take no action against Australia over their withdrawal from the forthcoming Zimbabwe tour because it is due to a government ban and the political unrest in the African nation caused by the leadership of President Robert Mugabe, the British government has confirmed that Mugabe's daughter is studying in London.
The Sun reported that the Foreign Office Minister Ian McCartney told MPs in a Commons that Bona Mugabe is studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), which is part of London University.
He was responding to a question from Tory James Duddridge (Rochford and Southend E) who asked: "Can you confirm whether or not Robert Mugabe's daughter, Bona Mugabe, is currently studying at the London School of Economics and if so who is paying?"
Mr McCartney replied: "The first part of your question I understand that is the case. The second part, I am not certain about that but I will write to you and give a copy to the House."
Mr McCartney added that he believed serious consideration should be given to extending a travel ban imposed on tyrant Mugabe to his children.
Last year British politicians urged England players not to tour Zimbabwe, but did not ban them, a stance criticised by ICC chief Malcom Speed.
He said: "In this case a government has come out and said they've prohibited their team from going to Zimbabwe.
"That's the clarity we've been seeking."
