Alexanderasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any steps have been taken since 1935 to provide repair and maintenance facilities at Cyprus for the use of the Royal Navy when operating in the Eastern Mediterranean; if so, what is the present position at Cyprus; and, if not, whether any such steps are contemplated?
§ Mr. AlexanderIs the First Lord likely to make any statement to the House in the course of the Naval Debate with regard to the statement on 22nd September, 1936, by the late First Lord?
