HC Deb 26 November 1930 vol 245 c1283
37. Sir WILLIAM LANE MITCHELL

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what was the cost price delivered at a Russian port of the sugar bought by Russia in Cuba and refined here and guaranteed under our export credit scheme?

Mr. GILLETT (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I am precluded from giving particulars of individual transactions under the Export Credits Guarantee Scheme. As the hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension I must point out that the sugar in respect of which guarantees were given was bought by Russia here and not in Cuba.
