HC Deb 15 October 1976 vol 917 cc233-4W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy towards citizens of Cyprus who came to Great Britain after the Turkish invasion and who are not allowed by the Turkish authorities to return to their homes in Turkish-occupied Cyprus.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I propose to continue, for as long as may be necessary, the sympathetic and understanding policy of my predecessor, with which my hon. Friend, as a member of the Select Committee on Cyprus, is familiar, and which was fully described in the Home Office Memorandum of Evidence to the Select Committee in October 1975 and the Government's observations on the Select Committee's Report in August 1976 (Cmnd. 6579).
