Cyprus (Sovereign Base Areas)

HC Deb 13 March 1964 vol 691 cc96-7W

Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Defence how much of the water supply in the British sovereign territories in Cyprus is dependent on sources outside those territories.

Mr. Thorneycroft

At present the greater part of the water for the Sovereign Base Areas comes from sources outside the Areas. These sources, and the pipelines to the Areas, have the status of retained sites under the Treaty of Establishment.
