HC Deb 03 February 1930 vol 234 cc1503-4W
Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether limits are placed on export credits in dealings with Russian Soviet trade delegations, and how they compare with the limits placed on export credits in dealings with private firms in other countries?

Mr. GILLETT

In considering applications for facilities under the Export Credits Guarantee Scheme, the Advisory Committee naturally have regard to existing commitments and to any other relevant factors and fix limits in each case accordingly. As these factors vary so widely from one case to another it is not possible to make any comparison between the limits fixed in different transactions.
