Jegerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that many Cypriots in London are being visited by collectors who ask for regular donations to support various funds alleged to be in aid of the liberation of Cyprus, under threats of action against their relatives still in Cyprus; and whether he will take steps to prevent this intimidation of loyal British Cypriots.

64W
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeInformation reaching the police from a number of sources indicates that some Cypriots have subscribed to funds under duress, but no one who has been subjected to pressure in this way has complained to me or to the police. If evidence that money has been demanded under threats is obtained, appropriate action will be taken.
§ 83. Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police man hours daily are occupied in following Cypriots in London.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeIt would be contrary to the public interest to disclose information of this kind.
