HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c51WA
Lord Cocks of Hartcliffe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their policy on export credit finance in relation to former Soviet Union dependencies. [HL3897]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD) provides export credits to support the export of capital/semi capital goods and services to those former Soviet Union dependencies which are judged to be acceptable risks. ECGD cover for this region is currently under review, the results of which are expected within the next few weeks.
