§ 26. Mr. BUCHANAN (for Mr. STEPHEN)asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the full details of the Government export insurance scheme; and whether the scheme will apply to Russia among other countries?
§ Mr. A. M. SAMUEL (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)The full details are too long to be given conveniently in reply to a question. I am therefore arranging to place in the Library copies of a publication describing the facilities, and also of the floating contract by which bills of exchange are guaranteed. I will send similar copies to the hon. Member. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
§ Colonel DAYWill the copy that is placed in the Library also show the different rates charged?
§ Mr. SAMUELNo, the rates depend on the character of each transaction.
