HC Deb 17 March 1960 vol 619 c125W
84. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been, or are being, made to give or continue financial and other assistance to English schools in Cyprus; and which of these schools are, and are not, to benefit from such assistance, and to what extent.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Her Majesty's Government propose to offer up to £80,000 in each of the next two school years to keep the three English schools in Nicosia going on their present basis. The Joint Council has accepted this offer. The money will be administered by the British Council. The British Council are at present considering whether they can give assistance to any other English school in Cyprus.
