HC Deb 23 November 1982 vol 32 c444W
Mr. Moyle

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether any of the grants paid by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to Turkey in the past five years have been used by the Turkish Government to support its military forces in Cyprus.

Mr. Hurd

As my hon. Friend the Member for Woking (Mr. Onslow) told the right hon. Member on 12 November the only grants made to the Government of Turkey by NATO ae under its information programme.—[Vol. 11, c.272.] Funds made available to Allies under the NATO infrastructure budget can be used only for NATO military projects authorised by the Alliance as a whole. NATO has authorised no project in support of Turkish military forces in Cyprus.
