HC Deb 02 April 1947 vol 435 c325W
94. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies by what methods it is proposed to consult the people of Cyprus in framing a new Constitution for the island.

Mr. Creech Jones

As indicated in my statement in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. Collins) on 23rd October last, it is proposed to call together a Consultative Assembly, drawn from representative elements in the island. Detailed arrangements will be considered by the new Governor, who has now assumed office.
