HC Deb 25 June 1969 vol 785 cc284-5W
82. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will, in concert with other interested countries, initiate discussions with the authorities in Cyprus for the progressive assimiliation of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot personnel into the United Nations Peacekeeping Force, without impairing the international character of that force.

Mr. Whitlock

In spite of the improved situation in the island I do not think that U.N.F.I.C.Y.P. could at present act effectively and impartially if Greek and Turkish Cypriots were incorporated in it.

Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will set out in the OFFICIAL REPORT a full list of all contributions made by member or non-member states of the United Nations towards the cost of the United Nations Force in Cyprus.

Mr. Whitlock
