§ Mr. Freeman[pursuant to his answer, 19 December 1986, c. 777]: All British service and civilian personnel posted to Cyprus receive written guidance on the relevant provisions of local law in the sovereign base areas and the Republic of Cyprus. In respect of service personnel, this written guidance is reinforced by oral briefing. The sovereign base areas administration does not issue guidance concerning the legal jurisdiction of the sovereign base areas to others resident and/or working there but copies of the sovereign base areas laws and the treaty of establishment are freely available in public reference libraries in the sovereign base areas.
