HC Deb 12 January 1994 vol 235 c230W
22. Mr. O'Hara

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many officials from the ECGD were in attendance at the overseas trade services stand at Interbuild to advise on export strategy.

Mr. Needham

The Government were represented at this private sector exhibition by officials from DTI's overseas trade services and the Department of the Environment. ECGD was not present. The exhibition was geared primarily to goods and services sold on short terms of payment. These would be covered by private insurers rather than ECGD.
