The complainant asked the Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD) to provide information about an insurance agreement with BAE Systems Ltd (BAES) in 2004. He referred to articles published by The Guardian newspaper and asked for complete copies of a number of related documents. He also asked ECGD to provide a schedule of relevant documents.
