HC Deb 27 October 1997 vol 299 c667W 667W

§ Mr. Streeter
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his Department's policy on the accession of Cyprus to the EU. [12530]

We support Cyprus' accession to the EU. We hope that this will be on the basis of a settlement, leading to the accession of a bizonal, bicommunal federation. This will bring benefits to both communities on the island.
