There was no thought in "our minds or in the minds of the American authorities of

of a with- drawal from Korea," Mr Emanuel Shinwell, the Defence Minister, emphatically announced in the |House of Commons today.

Mr Shinwell was answering a barrage of questions from Members on the Korean crisis.

Earlier, the Minister made a prepared state- ment in which he declared "We may have to prepare ourselves for still harder tidings."
