Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Michael Jack (Conservative). It was answered by Yvette Cooper (Labour) on Thursday, 26 March 2009 on behalf of the Treasury.
Credit Insurance
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the effect of the availability of credit insurance for industry on the prospects for economic recovery.
- Answer
-
About 20 per cent. of lending between businesses is generally covered by trade credit insurance. There is evidence that credit insurers are withdrawing insurance as part of the credit crunch, which is increasing the risks for those companies that use it, and the Government are in discussion with trade credit insurance companies about ways to give business more support.
