§ Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many persons are still in detention in Cyprus against whom no charge has been brought; and when he expects to complete the release of these political prisoners.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd1,140 persons were in detention on 28th May. It is not possible to say now when they can be released. This must depend on the Governor's assessment in each case of the risk to public security which would be involved.
