§ 36. Brigadier Fitzroy Macleanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that Great Britain is a trustee for Korea and of the unsatisfactory position there, he will take an early opportunity of raising the matter at the Conference of Foreign Ministers.
Mr. McNeilThe proposed trusteeship for Korea has not yet been established. I have therefore nothing to add to my answer to the hon. and gallant Gentleman on 4th December.
§ Brigadier MacleanIs it not a fact that trusteeship was established under the Moscow decision of December, 1945?
Mr. McNeilNo, Sir. A joint commission was set up to implement the trusteeship agreement, but it has not been implemented.
§ Brigadier MacleanIs it not apparent that the trusteeship agreement exists, and is therefore in force?
§ Brigadier MacleanIn view of the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, may I give notice that I intend to raise the matter on the Adjournment?
