HC Deb 10 November 1967 vol 753 cc199-200W
Mr. Barnett

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement setting out the various official forms of credit available to exporters.

Mr. Crosland

I assume that my hon. Friend has in mind the guarantees pro- vided through the Export Credits Guarantee Department, which enable exporters to get finance for export credit on favourable terms from the banks. The facilities available are described in Board of Trade Export Handbook No. 2 and, somewhat more fully, in the booklet "E.C.G.D. Services". I am sending copies to my hon. Friend.
