§ 42. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what expenditure he has incurred in maintaining law and order in Cyprus from the time of the decision to make Cyprus a military base until the end of 1957.
§ Mr. ProfumoA sum of £5,550,000 has been provided in the Colonial Service Vote since 1956–57, the first year in which a grant-in-aid of emergency expenditure was made.
§ Mr. HughesCan the hon. Gentleman tell us what we have got for this £5,550,000?
§ Mr. ProfumoThe tragedy of Cyprus cannot be measured wholly in terms of finance.
