HC Deb 08 April 1964 vol 692 c214W
74. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, having regard both to the constitutional position of Her Majesty's Forces and the sovereignty of members of the United Nations proclaimed in its Charter, he will require the Union Flag to be flown side by side with whatever United Nations flags may be flown by British headquarters and units in Cyprus.

Mr. Thorneycroft

No. The United Nations have a difficult job and if we start to lay down conditions about the use of the British contingent others will do so about their contingents and the task may become harder.
