§ 8. Mr. COUPERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many students attend the agricultural school at Nicosia, Cyprus; what are their nationalities; and what are the sources of the revenue of the school?
§ Mr. AMERYThere are 25 students at the school, 20 of whom are Greek Cypriots and five Turkish Cypriots. The school's source of income is a Government grant of £400 a year.
§ Mr. COUPERIs it not somewhat dissipating the revenue of the island in educating aliens who are not British subjects?
§ Mr. AMERYI think my hon. Friend must have misunderstood my reply. Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are both British subjects.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODCan the right hon. Gentleman say when we may expect the 1927 Report on this question, and whether he has read the excellent speech delivered by the Governor in opening the last Session of Parliament in Cyprus?
§ Mr. AMERYI certainly have read that most interesting speech to which the right hon. and gallant Gentleman refers. I will see that the Report is circulated as soon as it is available.
