There is also British opposition to the tribute.

Undersecretary of State for the Colonies Winston Churchill will visit Cyprus in 1907 and, in a report on his visit, declare, "We have no right, except by force majeure, to take a penny of the Cyprus Tribute to relieve us from our own obligations, however unfortunately contracted."

Parliament will soon afterward vote a permanent annual grant-in-aid of fifty thousand pounds sterling to Cyprus and reduce the tribute accordingly.
