Oral Answers to Questions

Jeremy Lefroy Excerpts

Thursday 3rd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)]

T4. Business in my constituency has praised the work of UK Export Finance but expressed some concerns about the bureaucracy and the length of documentation required to seal those deals. Will the Secretary of State please look into that?

[Dr Fox]

May I first praise the work of UKEF? As a Government export credit agency it is the world leader and its practices are second to none. However, we are always trying to streamline and improve, and in fact have appointed a new chairman for UKEF, who will be announced shortly. When they are in place they will certainly be shaking up the organisation.
