HC Deb 21 November 1983 vol 49 cc36-7W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industy whether he is now prepared to sanction exports to Mozambique at present held up due to withrawal of Export Credits Guarantee Department facilities.

Mr. Channon

Details of ECGD cover for individual transactions are confidential. However, I can inform the hon. Member that some ECGD cover is available to support exports to Mozambique. Recently difficulties have occurred in respect of certain contracts because of delays in the transfer of foreign exchange to the United Kingdom, but it is hoped that these will be resolved shortly.
