The Zimbabwean Government has described as regrettable and unfortunate remarks by UK lawmaker Lord Adrian Palmer calling for Britain's recolonisation of Zimbabwe.

Speaking in the House of Lords, independent cross-bench peer Lord Palmer asked: "Has the minister even considered the idea of recolonising Zimbabwe? It is tragic to see what is going on."

British Foreign Office Minister Lord Ahmad said he had not considered that option.
