CIRCULAR FROM HEAD OF HKGD TO ALL HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS

CYPRUS:

DEPENDENT TERRITORIES: SOVEREIGN BASE AREAS OF AKROTIRI

AND DHEKELIA

On one or two occasions recently the Cyprus Sovereign

seem to

Base Areas have been overlooked in papers of general interest to dependent territories. Although administered by MOD,

the Sovereign Base Areas are dependent territories, with a

resident local population. This should be borne in mind

when matters of general concern to dependent territories

are under consideration, or circular telegrams to dependent

territories are being drafted. Papers or telegrams which

may be of concern to the Sovereign Base Areas Administration

should be copied to Mr Preston, DS11, MOD (218 3625); he

will arrange their transmission to the SBAs if he thinks

appropriate.
