HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 cc145-6W
65. Mr. Albu

asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of exports in 1953 of prefabricated houses, prefabricated industrial, educational and farm buildings, and components for prefabricated buildings.

Mr. Low

Exports recorded as prefabricated buildings amounted, in 1953, to £3,823,000. This figure excludes garages, huts, greenhouses and the like.

66. Mr. Albu

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to encourage the export of prefabricated houses, industrial and other buildings, and prefabricated components for buildings.

Mr. Low

All the services of advice and information and the credit insurance facilities of the Export Credits Guarantee Department provided generally for exporters by the Government are available for the manufacturers of prefabricated buildings. I welcome the efforts they are making over exports.
