HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 cc834-5W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the volume of exports and imports of steel in each of the last five years.

Mr. Meacher

Following is the information:

Credits Guarantee Department performance bond support scheme.

Mr. Dell

In the light of a further year's experience of operating the scheme, and following consultation with the banks, I have decided to reduce the £1 million qualifying limit for eligible contracts. In future ECGD bond-issue support will be available for export contracts on cash or near-cash terms with a value of £500,000 or more.
