HC Deb 14 January 1977 vol 923 cc623-4W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Trade why he is extending the facilities of the Export Credits Guarantee Department to exporters to agencies of the Government of the Transkie when that Government is not recognised by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Meacher

The facilities of the Export Credits Guarantee Department are in principle available to support British exports wherever these can be conducted on a sound commercial basis.
