HC Deb 29 July 1958 vol 592 c96W
52. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is satisfied that all Turkish Cypriots who are known to belong to terrorist organisations or to have incited their people to violence are now under arrest; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Turkish Cypriots recently arrested were all known terrorists or trouble makers. It does not follow, however, that all the Turkish terrorists were known and picked up on this occasion. T.M.T. is a small group operating mainly in Nicosia and a few of the principal towns. It has only recently been actively engaged in terrorism.
