HC Deb 23 January 1931 vol 247 cc510-1W
Major COLVILLE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the total amount of export credits granted to exporters of goods to Russia since the Government took office; and if, in addition, he can show how much is applicable to the following classes of goods: textile machinery, raw wool, wool tops, woollen and worsted yarns, and woollen and worsted tissues and mixtures?

Mr. GILLETT

The face value of contracts entered into under the Export Credits Guarantee Scheme in respect of exports to Russia from the 10th June, 1929, to 17th January, 1931, was £5,252,591. I regret that I am unable to reply to the second part of the question.
