HC Deb 07 February 1939 vol 343 c765W
Captain P. Macdonald

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is now in a position to make any further statement about the granting of additional credits to facilitate trade with China; and whether the steps to be taken will be within the scope of the Export Credits Bill or in addition to the new powers sought therein?

Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he intends to make available any further credits for trade with China?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

I regret that I am not in a position to make a further statement upon the matters referred to. The question whether a proposal would fall within the scope of the Export Guarantees Bill would depend upon the circumstances of the particular case.
