HC Deb 29 January 1969 vol 776 cc336-7W
Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of exports in 1968 were paid for in cash or within one year; and, of the total amount of credit extended, what proportion was extended for one to five years, five to 10 years, and 10 to 15 years, respectively.

Mr. Dell

About 95 per cent. of exports are paid for in cash or within one year. I cannot give an analysis of fresh credits extended, but the latest available analysis of exports by credit term was given in answer to the hon. Member for Wan-stead and Woodford (Mr. Patrick Jenkin) on 15th November, 1968.—Vol. 773, cols. 170–1.]
