1954 CE

The withdrawal of the 1948 constitutional proposals for Cyprus in favor of an alternative plan is announced by Henry L. Hopkinson, minister of state for the colonies, speaking in the British House of Commons in July 1954.

He goes on to state, "There are certain territories in the Commonwealth which, owing to their peculiar
circumstances, can never expect to be fully independent."

Hopkinson's "never" and the absence of any mention of enosis dooms the alternative from the beginning.
