HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c345
1. Mr. Solley

asked the Secretary of State; for the Colonies what steps he proposes to take to give the people of Cyprus a voice in the government of their country.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. georģe Hall)

I have nothing to add to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Central Cardiff (Mr. georģe Thomas) on 10th October last.

Mr. Solley

Does my right hon. Friend realise that there is considerable dismay in Cyprus because of the lack of a positive and constructive policy in respect of the democratisation of the Colony? Could he say anything further to satisfy the aspirations of the Cypriots?

Mr. Hall

If my hon. Friend will look at the reply he will see that progress is being made on this subject.
