§ Mr. Luceasked the Secretary of State for Trade what Government facilities and assistance on exports are available to large companies but not to small companies.
§ Mr. ShoreThe export services provided by the British Overseas Trade Board are available to all British firms, irrespective of size. ECGD traditional facilities are, in principle, similarly available. However, some of ECGD's most recent facilities have been designed to meet the special problems of large exporters involved in high-value projects with long manufacturing periods, but 77W smaller firms may also gain some indirect benefits from these facilities when acting as subcontractors.
