HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c32
64. Mr. Thomas Reid

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Governments of France and Sweden have promised military or other aid against North Korea to the United Nations organisation.

Mr. Ernest Davies

The French Government have placed one naval vessel at the disposal of the United Nations unified command in Korea. The Swedish Government have notified the Secretary-General of their inability to provide military assistance but are, I understand, offering a field hospital.

Mr. Reid

May I ask my hon. Friend whether the Swedish Government intend to contribute financially, if they cannot contribute militarily?
