§ MR. BRODRICKasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is now possible for the Government to fix a term for the detention of the Brigade of Guards in Cyprus; and, whether the state of public affairs would justify their immediate return to England?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. W. H. SMITH)I am sorry that I am not in a position to tell my hon. Friend the date at which the Guards will return home; but I can assure him that they will not be detained in Cyprus a day longer than is necessary for the public interest.
