HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 c162W
93. Mrs. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many prosecutions have been brought since the emergency began by Cypriots against the police, armed forces or security officers in Cyprus in respect of offences alleged to have been committed against civilians; and what the results have been.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Nine. In seven the charges were subsequently withdrawn and the cases were dismissed; in the eighth case the court held that noprima facie case had been made out, and in the remaining case the defendant was discharged absolutely.
