,
October 2007
and
October 2009
These trips were paid for by the Municipality of Morphou and the office of the Mayor of Morphou. Questions On 10 January 2006 Mrs Villiers asked the foreign secretary to make a statement on Cyprus
(question number 40197)
and asked an additional supplementary question. On this occasion, no interest appears to have been declared. Reply Mrs Villiers told the BBC: "The visit was declared on the House of Commons Register of Members' Interests and was therefore public knowledge. However, I recognise that when tabling a question, I should have noted an interest. This was an error on my part and I will be writing to the registrar to make this clear."
