HC Deb 27 June 1956 vol 555 c45W
77. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will recommend a vigorous policy among the youth of Cyprus to interest them in pleasant pursuits; and discuss with our well-established youth organisations the possibility of active co-operation with the Governor to this end.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As I said in the debate on 14th May, I am not one of those who holds the view that the youth of Cyprus is lost irrevocably. Useful work in this field is already being done, with the encouragement of the Director of Welfare Services. I have always been very glad to take advantage of the help so readily made available by the principal voluntary organisations in this country, and I will certainly bear my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind.
