HC Deb 27 April 1955 vol 540 c916
17. Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made in the discussions on constitutional development in Cyprus.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am not yet in a position to add to my replies to Questions by the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras, South (Mrs. L. Jeger) on 2nd March.

Mr. Benn

Has the right hon. Gentleman no news whatever to give the House of the progress of these talks, without which it is impossible to look forward to a peaceful future in Cyprus?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Any influence that the hon. Gentleman can bring to bear on the people so that they will take part in these talks will be very greatly welcomed.
