HC Deb 04 November 1958 vol 594 c25W
41. Mr. Prentice

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will reconsider his decision prohibiting the return to Cyprus of Michael Pissas, the general secretary of the Cyprus Workers' Confederation, in view of the recent joint statement of the Cypriot trade union organisations condemning the use of violence.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

This welcome statement was made on 13th August, but unfortunately there has been an increase in violence since that time. I have nothing to add to my hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme(Mr. Swingler) on 3rd July.
