§ 30. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will arrange to make available to the general public, by sale or otherwise, the pamphlet "Why we are in Cyprus," issued as background notes for British Service men.
§ The Minister of State for Colonial Affairs (Mr. John Hare)Yes, Sir. This pamphlet has been given on request to journalists, lecturers and members of the public by my Department and by the Cyprus Government Office in London. It has been sent by the Central Office of Information to members of the public who have asked to receive regular information on foreign and colonial affairs.
§ Mr. Biggs-DavisonMay I thank my right hon. Friend for that reply, because this is a most excellent document which sets out very clearly why it is necessary to maintain British sovereignty over Cyprus?
§ Mr. BevanWill the right hon. Gentleman make this document available in the House of Commons so that we may find out whether public money is being used for party propaganda purposes?
