HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 cc1959-60W
Miss Ward

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether the post-war plans for the Export Credits Department are yet available.

Mr. Johnstone

Some of the proposals for extending the scope of Export Credits Guarantees require legislation, and as my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade stated on 4th July last in reply to the hon. Member for Stoke (Mr. Ellis Smith) it is hoped to introduce this legislation next Session. Other changes in the facilities offered by the Export Credits Guarantee Department will be embodied in revised policies which are being prepared for issue when the war in Europe finishes.
