HC Deb 22 December 1937 vol 330 c1954
26. Mr. Hannon

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there is anything to prevent a non-Cypriote being elected to the vacant Archbishopric of the Orthodox Church in Cyprus?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Yes, Sir. A law enacted in Cyprus in November, 1937, provides that no person who is not a native of the colony shall be capable of being elected Archbishop.
