HC Deb 11 May 2000 vol 349 c442W
27. Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress he has made in his review of the export credit guarantee scheme. [120532]

Mr. Caborn

The Review of ECGD's Mission and Status, which I announced last July, is proceeding satisfactorily. The public consultation exercise and a number of independent studies into certain aspects of ECGD's operations have provided valuable evidence. These inputs will enable Ministers to determine the right way forward for ECGD, and I expect to announce the outcome of the Mission Review to the House in the next month or so. I expect the Status element of the Review to be completed later in the year.
