HC Deb 18 February 1994 vol 237 cc1037-8W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much income has been received from private patients' income, by district health authority, for each of the last five years.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

No.

Mr. Meale

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) if Her Majesty's Government will ask the Turkish Government if they will allow the United Nations Committee on Missing Persons to carry out its inquiries(a) inside the occupied areas of Cyprus, without controls, and (b) inside Turkey;

(2) what appropriations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Turkish Government on co-operation with the United Nations special committee on the missing persons of Cyprus;

(3) what is the latest information in the possession of Her Majesty's Government concerning the whereabouts of the Greek Cypriot persons, classified as missing since 1974.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

We consider that the United Nations Committee on Missing Persons remains the best instrument for pursuing the question of those missing from both communities. The committee's effectiveness depends on full co-operation from both sides. The United Nations has had cause to complain of the level of co-operation from both sides.

Mr. Meale

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement outlining the present policy of Her Majesty's Government on the occupation of part of the island of Cyprus by Turkish armed forces.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

We are committed to the search for a settlement to the Cyprus problem acceptable to both Cypriot communities. The United Nations Secretary-General's mission of good offices remains the best hope for a just and lasting solution. This should be based on a single, bi-communal, bi-zonal federal republic.
