§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether he is satisfied that exporters are adequately informed of the facilities of the Export Credits Guarantee Department; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HeathYes. These facilities are advertised in the national and regional Press. In 1963 officials from the Department's 16 Branch Offices made over 30,000 calls on exporting firms; of this number, over 13,000 were on uninsured firms to introduce and explain the facilities. Several publications are available describing these facilities. Copies of the latest and most comprehensive of these, "E.C.G.D. Services" are available in the Library of the House. I should be happy to send a copy to any hon. Member who may be interested.
