HC Deb 14 March 1969 vol 779 c365W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what advice he has given to the banks with regard to credit facilities for small businesses to enable them to increase production for exports; and what has been the response.

Mr. Harold Lever

In the guidance given by the authorities, the banks are asked to give priority within the ceiling to requests by all credit-worthy borrowers for finance for production and investment to sustain increased exports.
