§ Mr. Shinwellasked the President of the Board of Trade how many industrial firms have been declared bankrupt since 1952.
§ Mr. ErrollA considerable amount of information about bankruptcy and about the winding up of companies is given each year in the General Annual Reports on Bankruptcy and on Companies respectively which are published by H.M. Stationery Office. Perhaps the right hon. Member would consult the Reports for 1961, particularly Table IV of the Bankruptcy Report and Table VIII of the Companies Report, and then let me know what further information he would like to have.
