§ Dr. CableTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the outstanding amounts of ECGD guarantees were in respect of defence equipment, broken down by country, for financial year 2001–02. [62711]
§ Ms Hewitt[holding answer 19 June 2002]The table lists amounts outstanding as at 31 March 2002 in respect of ECGD guarantees for exports of defence-related equipment. These figures, which are net of sums already repaid, are made up of future maturities (amounts yet to fall due for payment) and claims outstanding. Claims outstanding are in respect of business underwritten from 1991 onwards as ECGD does not hold claims information on cases supported before this date on a sectoral basis.
