§ 75. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the Government of Cyprus have refused to permit Turkish Airlines staff in Nicosia to enter the airport.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydIn January of this year the Government of Cyprus decided, for security and financial reasons, to vest the responsibility for the handling of all traffic at Nicosia Airport in the Director for Civil Aviation, who appointed Cyprus Airways as his agent for this purpose. The position was reviewed at the end of March, and certain facilities enjoyed before the emergency by the agencies, including that of the Turkish Airlines, were restored to them. I understand that these revised arrangements have been accepted by the agents as satisfactory.
