§ 8. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Overseas Trade Credit and Insurance Act has been extended to Russia; and whether steps have been taken or will be taken to simplify the administration of the Act and to enlarge its scope?
§ Mr. LUNN (Secretary Overseas Trade Department)As regards the first part of the question, I may refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, to the question asked by the hon. Member for the Brigg Division of Lincolnshire. As regards the second part, I am carefully considering whether any steps can usefully be taken further to facilitate the utilisation of the Export Credits Scheme by traders.
§ Mr. A. M, SAMUELWill the hon. Member ask the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull what he means by "Simplifying the procedure."
§ Mr. SPEAKERI must ask hon. Members to limit Supplementary Questions. There are many Questions on the Paper, and it is unfair to other hon. Members for hon. Members to ask too many Supplementary Questions.
