HC Deb 11 January 1995 vol 252 c152W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated annual public subsidy toward the sale of armaments.

Mr. Ian Taylor

Defence sales and civil capital goods business insured by ECGD are eligible for interest support under ECGD's fixed rate finance scheme, where credit terms of two years or more are involved. A sectoral breakdown of this support along the lines requested is not collected and is not readily obtainable.
