FAMAGUSTA

Early day motion 305, tabled 1 September 2014 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House supports the immediate return of the city of Famagusta to its lawful citizens, displaced following the invasion of Cyprus in 1974, in advance of any comprehensive solution being found to the country's illegal occupation of parts of the island by Turkey; and believes that such a confidence-building measure, which is supported by the United Nations, would act as a bridge towards the securing of a united Cyprus which would then help to bring political, economic and social cohesion to the whole country and its people who range from all this country’s ethnic backgrounds.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
