HC Deb 28 March 1956 vol 550 c204W
68. Mrs. L. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many schools in Cyprus remain closed; and what contribution this has made to restoring law and order in the island.

Mr. Hare

Four secondary schools on the Governor's instructions, and 38 secondary schools on the decision of their governing bodies. 418 elementary schools have discontinued classes. As a result of closing of schools there have been no large scale disturbances by school children comparable with those which took place when the schools were open.
