§ Mr. Stodartasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many priority categories of credit there are within the ceiling which has been imposed on banks; what these categories are; and in which of them agriculture has been placed.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThe priority categories of credit remain, as before, lending that will help the balance of payments, including lending for exports, invisible earnings or import-saving, such 503W as agriculture.
