HC Deb 17 January 1945 vol 407 cc168-9W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give an assurance that he will not use the Cyprus Regiment against their fellow Greeks during the present disturbances.

Mr. A. Henderson

The Cyprus Regiment was not used during the recent fighting in Greece, and I very much hope that no question of using it in this way will arise. While my hon. Friend will, I hope, appreciate that I cannot bind the Supreme Commander by giving the unqualified assurance for which he asks, I can assure him that it is most unlikely that they will be so used.
