37. Mr. Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what restrictions he has placed upon the movements of Archbishop Makarios of Cyprus on the Island of Mahé; for what reason; and how many visitors His Beatitude has been permitted since he arrived there.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydVisits to the town and other parts of the island are permitted during the hours of daylight, accompanied by an escort. Apart from these occasions, the Archbishop has been confined to the house and grounds of "Sans Souci". The Archbishop and the other deportees have now given their parole not to attempt to escape, to pass or receive surreptitious messages or issue political statements or talk to unauthorised persons, and not to leave "Sans Souci" without giving notice. In view of this, I have decided that it is unnecessary further to restrict the movements of the deportees. The Archbishop has been visited by three clergymen, and on several occasions by the Secretary to the Government and the Director of Medical Services. He has also been visited almost daily by an instructor in English.
