§ 23. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he is taking to safeguard the rights of the minorities in Cyprus on the transfer of power, in particular, the right to vote, the right of representation, and safeguards against discrimination.
§ Mr. J. AmeryI have nothing to add at present to the answer my right hon. Friend gave my hon. Friend on 28th April.
§ Mr. WallIs my hon. Friend aware that there is a feeling in the island that the rights of the British community in Cyprus are being somewhat neglected in the series of discussions? Can he assure the House that his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will keep this matter under close attention?
§ Mr. AmeryI can certainly give that assurance. We have had representations from various sections of the British community in Cyprus to which we are paying the closest regard.
