Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress he has made towards establishing an overseas investment guarantee scheme to cover political risks in developing countries.

Mr. Harold Lever

Her Majesty's Government have taken no initiative in devising such a scheme, but are participating in discussions on draft Articles of Agreement for an International Investment Insurance Agency, proceeding under the auspices of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
