HC Deb 29 June 1964 vol 697 cc160-1W
87. Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will ask for an assurance through the United Nations that the activities of General Grivas in Cyprus are directed solely to conciliation and will not promote a situation in which the position of British troops serving in the United Nations contingent is likely to be prejudiced.

Mr. R. A. Butler

As my right hon. Friend the Commonwealth Secretary said in the House on 25th June, we have made it clear that we expect the Cypriot authorities and the Secretary General of the United Nations to take all possible steps to ensure that our troops are treated with proper respect and courtesy. I have no comment to make at present on General Grivas's movements.
