Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will make representations to his Turkish counterpart on the removal of military personnel in Northern Cyprus.
HMG regularly discusses the prospects for Cyprus Settlement with Turkish authorities at all levels. The Minister for Europe did so with his Ministerial counterparts on 16 November during his visit to Ankara. We continue to believe that a just and lasting settlement in Cyprus is the best means of resolving the difficulties caused by the division of the island.
