41. Sir DENNIS HERBERT

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has considered the representations from the London Chamber of Commerce complaining of the present procedure by petition of right for the settlement of disputed complaints by the Export Credits Guarantee Department; and whether he is prepared to insert in future in arbitration clause in credit insurance contract's in order to facilitate the settlement of such claims?

Mr. GILLETT

I have received the representations to which the hon. Member refers and have referred them to the Export Credits Guarantee Department's Executive Committee for consideration.

Sir D. HERBERT

Can the hon. Gentleman give me any sort of idea as to when it is likely to be arrived at?

Mr. GILLETT

No, but, if the hon. Gentleman will put down a question in about 10 days, I will see if I can answer.
