§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTONI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any step has been taken to meet the wishes expressed to Her Majesty's Government by the deputation from Cyprus last year, either in the way of reforms in the civil administration or of relief from taxation; and, if so, whether he will state what changes have been introduced?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSThe views of Her Majesty's Government on the representations of the deputation from 1628 Cyprus will be found in the Parliamentary Paper C, 6,003, recently distributed, especially in the Secretary of State's Despatch of the 22nd of March, 1890, at p. 23. Various reductions of expenditure have been made, and some other reforms will be initiated, as described in the papers referred to; but it would be impossible to state the particulars within the limits of an answer.
§ MR. S. LEIGHTONI beg to give notice that I will call attention to the question on the Estimates.
