asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the total number of insolvencies for each of the years to the 28th February, 1931, 29th February, 1932, and 28th February, 1933, so far as evidenced by the aggregate number during each of those periods of the orders for the compulsory winding-up of companies, resolutions for the voluntary winding-up of companies on the grounds of inability to meet liabilities, receiving orders made in bankruptcy, and deeds of arrangements and deeds of composition?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)

I regret that it has not been possible within the time available to obtain the information desired by the hon. and gallant Member, but I will send him the particulars as soon as possible.

Major NATHAN

Will my hon. Friend publish that information in due course from the reports?

Dr. BURGIN

If they are not too long that shall be done.
