§ Mr. MeacherInformation about uninsured United Kingdom private sector lending to the Chilean Government is not available. As to credit insured by ECGD, it is customary not to disclose this in order not to weaken obligations for full payment of all liabilities. However, since May 1972 ECGD cover for sales to Chile has been restricted to business involving not more than six months' post-shipment credit.
