§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will insist upon the withdrawal of all the armed Turkish force in Cyprus before agreeing to provide military assistance to the Turkish Government; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Ian GilmourNo. The way to secure the withdrawal of Turkish forces is through a Cyprus settlement. British aid to Turkey is predominantly for civil purposes. Any military assistance is given in the NATO context.
