Iran: Export Credit Guarantees

Mr. Hague
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry pursuant to the answer of 18 June 2007, Official Report, columns 1492-3W, on Iran: export credit guarantees, when the arrangement that Ministers should be consulted before export credit cover is provided to Iran was made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Darling
On 13 April 2007, I asked ECGD to consult me before any new cover was provided for exports to Iran.
