Cyprus (Hansard, 8 February 1994)

HC Deb 08 February 1994 vol 237 c232W 232W

§ 12. Mr. Dunnachie
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the future of Britain's military presence in Cyprus.

§ Mr. Hanley
The United Kingdom's military presence in Cyprus comprises about 4,500 service and civilian personnel in two sovereign base areas and a separate contribution of over 400 troops to the United Nations Force in Cyprus—UNFICYP. We have no plans to withdraw from either commitment in the foreseeable future, although we keep all our commitments under review.
