§ 14. Captain Alan Grahamasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the patriotic contribution of Cypriots to the war effort of the British Empire, he will consent to name a cruiser of the "Fiji" class, or other similar ship, "Cyprus"; or, if this be not possible to allot the name "Nicosia" or "Famagusta" to some other of His Majesty's ships?
§ The Civil Lord of the Admiralty (Captain Austin Hudson)Since the names for all projected cruisers have already been approved, I cannot offer any immediate prospect of meeting my hon. and gallant Friend's wishes as regards the name "Cyprus." That name, and the other two mentioned have, however, been noted for consideration should a suitable opportunity arise.
