§ Mr. Ray Powellasked the Minister for Trade whether he has any recent figures for the number of companies which went into liquidation in Wales for 1982 which have not so far been published in British Business.
§ Dr. VaughanI regret that the only official figures available for company liquidations are for England and Wales as a whole. It would not be possible, without considerable expense, to analyse the records of companies registered in England and Wales, kept by the Registrar of Companies at Cardiff, to identify those whose registered offices are situated in Wales. In any case, the address of the registered office is not always a good indication of the location of the trading activities.
