Mr. Philips Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the further deterioration of the situation in Cyprus, he will consider offering ultimate self-determination to the Cypriots on condition that the island is retained as a defence base under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and there should be a guarantee of Turkish minority rights.
