§ 3. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Oversea Trade Department the policy adopted by his Department in giving advice to British firms who may desire to take advantage of the export credit facilities which are being provided by American export houses with the support of the Government of the United States?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridge-man)I have been asked by my hon. Friend to answer this question. It is not possible to lay down any hard and fast policy which is applicable to all cases, as it must necessarily depend on the nature of the individual inquiry, and especially on the extent to which British needs of the particular commodity are already met from British Imperial sources.
