HC Deb 15 July 1958 vol 591 c79W
73. Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the emergency powers exercised by the Government of Cyprus in respect of the legality of secret organisations, the flying of national flags, the display of slogans and the imposition of the death penalty for carrying arms, apply equally to Cypriots of all races.

Mr. Profumo

There are no emergency powers relating to the legality of secret organisations (which are regulated by the Criminal Code), and none in force relating to the flying of flags. The reply to the remainder of the Question is: Yes.
