HC Deb 24 January 2001 vol 361 cc627-32W
Ms Kingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what procedures are in place to check that contracts being considered for Export Credits Guarantee Department support are subject to competitive tendering. [145470]

Mr. Caborn

The Export Credits Guarantee Department has no procedures for checking that contracts considered for support have been won as a result of competitive tendering, as it is not a requirement of its support that contracts be awarded as the result of such a process.

Ms Kingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the United Kingdom companies that received support from the Export Credits Guarantee Department in the(a) last and (b) current financial year to date. [145471]

Mr. Caborn

The lists do not include the many UK subcontractors who will have benefited from ECGD cover provided to a UK main contractor or to a bank which makes payment to a number of UK exporters on behalf of overseas buyers. They do, however, include the UK branches of overseas companies who have been the beneficiaries of ECGD guarantees.
