HC Deb 27 November 1956 vol 561 c28W
60. Captain Pilkington

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a further statement on the progress of restoring law and order in Cyprus.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As a result of operations by the security forces in the Troodos area last month, a mountain group and two village groups were broken up, three wanted men captured, a number of suspects detained and quantities of arms and ammunition recovered. During November E.O.K.A. activity has been increasingly indiscriminate but there has also been an increase in the number of terrorists killed or captured in the act of terrorism and in arrests of members of the organisation.
