HC Deb 02 February 1954 vol 523 cc31-2W
Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Her Majesty's Government will introduce a new Constitution for Cyprus bearing in mind the result of the plebiscite of January, 1950, organised by the Ethnarchy, when 96 per cent. of the Greek people of Cyprus voted for union with Greece.

Mr. Hopkinson

His Majesty's Government, in 1948, made an offer of a new Constitution subject to certain conditions. This offer remains open. The so-called "plebiscite" of 1950 has no relevance to the question.
