§ 33. Captain BOWYERasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Oversea Trade Department if he will state what measures the Government have adopted, or propose to adopt, to assist British firms in the provision of export credit facilities to enable British export trade to France, Italy, and Belgium and other debtor nations to be maintained and extended?
§ Sir A. GEDDESI am having the matter investigated to see if, with new statutory powers, the Government will be able to deal more satisfactorily with the difficulties indicated in my hon. Friend's question than it can at present. I hope to be in a position to make a statement at an early date.
