HC Deb 04 March 1991 vol 187 c62W
Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what restrictions are placed on the type of goods available to be exported under the export credit guarantee scheme.

Mr. Leigh

[holding answer 1 March 1991]: There are no specific types of goods for which ECGD credit insurance is restricted. However, all exports covered by ECGD must comply with the statutory requirements for export licensing and must also comply with other international agreements of which the United Kingdom is a signatory.

Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list countries which have had export controls and restrictions placed upon them since 1987.

Mr. Lilley

[holding answer 1 March 1991]: Goods which are subject to export controls are listed in the Export of Goods (Control) Order, which specifies in Article 2 the destination to which goods are controlled. Since 1987 India and Pakistan have been added to article 2.
