Subject: Britain reneged on the spirit polit. Britain reneged on the spirit, if not the letter, of a provision in the Lancaster House settlement, intended to tackle the worst feature of the legacy of white rule - that half of the land was owned by whites. The UK contributed in real terms to the buyout of 5,000 white farmers in Zimbabwe just half the amount that it provided for a similar exercise in Kenya in the early 1960s - although that former colony had barely 1,000 white farmers.
