§ Mr. HattersleyAll British nationals in Cyprus, particularly those in the Turkish-occupied area, are, under the present circumstances, suffering some degree of hardship, but they appear to be in no danger. The High Commission in Nicosia has reminded the appropriate authorities of their responsibility for the safety of British subjects and will make further representations whenever there is need to do so. The Foreign Secretary discussed the position of British nationals142W and their property with Vice President Denktash during their recent talks in London.
