§ 76. Mr. Wiggasked the Minister of Defence if he will state the number of Service wives and children living in Cyprus on 1st November, 1958, and the number that have proceeded there since July, 1958, excluding those returning after temporary visits outside the island; and whether the ban imposed in July, 1958, on Service families proceeding to Cyprus is to be continued.
§ Mr. SandysThere are now some 13,000 wives and children of Servicemen in Cyprus: four members of families have gone out there since July. The ban on further families proceeding to Cyprus remains in force. We shall from time to time consider, in the light of the situation, 69W whether any change in these arrangements, one way or the other, is called for.
