HL Deb 26 May 2004 vol 661 cc139-40WA
Lord Rogan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, given that the Turkish Cypriots have voted to accept the Annan plan, they will extend to Turkish Cypriot students access to education in the United Kingdom on the same basis and at the same cost as that extended to Greek Cypriot students.[HL2842]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

All Cypriots are EU citizens. The whole island joined the EU on 1 May. However, theacquis was suspended in the north of the island.

Any Cypriot with a Republic of Cyprus passport has the same right to education in the United Kingdom on the same basis and at the same cost as that extended to Greek Cypriot students.
