§ 18. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty the total of British naval expenditure in Korea from the commencement of the war in Korea until the end of 1959.
§ Mr. C. Ian Orr-EwingIt is estimated that the cost of Royal Naval operations in support of the United Nations in Korea was about £11 million. No costs were incurred after the Armistice in 1953.
§ Mr. HughesThe hon. Member used to say that the Labour Government were responsible for this, and I opposed it at the time. Can he say, now that Mr. Syngman Rhee's régime has disappeared, what we have got for this money?
§ Mr. Orr-EwingI should have thought that this was one of the most successful United Nations actions which had been instituted. It was brought to a success-full conclusion and tended to show that invasion and flagrant disobedience of international law do not pay.
