HC Deb 11 February 1954 vol 523 cc1339-40
11. Mr. de Freitas

asked the President of the Board of Trade what changes he proposes in the policy of the Export Credits Guarantee Department to make it easier for our firms to compete in the export trade, particularly with German and Italian exporters.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I have no reason to believe that credit insurance institutions anywhere in the world provide a more helpful range of guarantees; but if the hon. Member has in mind some special extension of E.C.G.D. facilities, perhaps he will let me know.
