HC Deb 05 July 1928 vol 219 c1592W
Sir F. SANDERSON

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is aware that the German exporter is able to insure with the German Government CO per cent. of the value of legitimate transactions with Russian traders; and whether he will consider adopting a similar policy in this country?

Mr. HACKING

I am aware of the existence of a scheme whereby the exporters of certain classes of goods from Germany to Russia are able to insure 60 per cent. of the value of such exports under the auspices partly of the Central German Government and partly of the State Government concerned. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
