Proceeding contribution from Lord Selsdon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill.
Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill
My Lords, I had rather hoped that I would hear something about exports; I declare an interest as a former president of the British Exporters Association. I have always remembered that the ECGD was established by Winston Churchill to encourage our visible exports. Will the Minister say whether we still export visibles, what our balance of payments surplus or deficit on visibles will be this year, and what it was last year? Was my estimate of a £100 billion deficit right?
