HC Deb 12 July 1954 vol 530 cc31-2
61. Mr. Steward

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement about the future British contribution to the work of the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The future of the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency is shortly to be discussed in the eighteenth session of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in Geneva, and will, no doubt, also be considered at the next session of the General Assembly. Since 1951, Her Majesty's Government have contributed to the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency a little over £8 million, of which £5 million was for the 1953–54 programme. Any further decision required of Her Majesty's Government will be taken in the light of the discussions in the United Nations and after consultation with the other Governments principally concerned.
