Export Credits Guarantee Department

EDM number 1373 in 2001-02, proposed by John Whittingdale on 22/05/2002.

That this House notes the widespread concern of industry and trades unions about the damaging effect of continuing reviews of the export Credits Guarantee Department; observes that the availability of competitive and consistent support from the Export Credits Guarantee Department is often essential to the winning of major export contracts for British capital goods; and urges the Government to ensure the Export Credits Guarantee Department has the freedom to provide support to British exporters that is at least comparable to that enjoyed by companies in other industrialised countries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
