HC Deb 06 June 1984 vol 61 c177W
30. Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he plans to announce the Government decision on the future of the Export Credits Guarantee Department.

Mr. Channon

The issues raised by the recommendations about ECGD in the recent report of the committee chaired by Sir Peter Matthews are being examined. I will announce the Government's decision on those recommendations as soon as possible. If my hon. Friend has any views, I would be delighted to consider them. As I made clear on 11 April, it would be helpful to have comments by 1 July.
