HC Deb 12 May 1954 vol 527 c75W
55. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the policy of Her Majesty's Government for the future of Cyprus.

Mr. Lyttelton

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Swindon (Mr. T. Reid) on 28th April. Her Majesty's Government have already made it clear that no change in the sovereignty of the island is intended, and that the offer of a new Constitution, made in 1948 subject to certain conditions, remains open.
