	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2016 answer text <p>UK Export Finance (UKEF) currently has a network of 22 Export Finance Managers (EFMs) who cover all regions of the UK. No regions are overlooked. In some cases, an EFM whose physical office is located in one region will also provide full coverage for a neighbouring region. In January 2017, this network will be enhanced by the recruitment of an additional Senior Export Finance Manager, providing further support to exporters and businesses located across the North of England.</p><p>EFMs play an important role in fulfilling UKEF’s mission that no viable export fails for want of finance or insurance from the private sector. EFMs act as local points of contact to introduce exporters and businesses with export potential to finance providers, credit insurers, insurance brokers, trade support bodies and sources of government support (including support provided by UKEF itself).</p><p>UKEF publishes the names and contact details of its EFMs on its website here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/find-an-export-finance-manager" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/find-an-export-finance-manager</a></p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 20/12/2016 17:53:09 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2017 answer text <p>UKEF’s policy is that at the time it makes its support available, it takes recourse rights against exporters, which can be invoked, where bribery or corruption is subsequently admitted by the exporter, or found by a court. After UKEF has provided support for a transaction, if it comes to its attention that bribery or corruption has been admitted or found by a court in relation to that transaction, its policy is to invoke this recourse where it has incurred any loss or expense. Where UKEF has issued an insurance policy, UKEF may cancel the cover where bribery or corruption is admitted or found by a court.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 07/02/2017 16:56:36 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
