§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give an assurance that the U.S. radio receiving station now being assembled in Cyprus after being transferred from Cairo, will be under British jurisdiction; and what is the purpose of this transfer.
Mr. Creech JonesIt is expected that the American Receiving Station will be established in Cyprus as a United States Government agency. Subject to the usual advantages of such a position, the station will be under British jurisdiction. I understand that the station is being transferred from Cairo in order that it may operate with greater technical efficiency.
