§ 12. Mr. Boyesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many companies have gone into liquidation in the northern region between 1974 and 1979 and 1979 to the latest available date.
§ Mr. TrippierI regret that official figures of company liquidations are not available by region.
Any analysis by region would have to be based upon a company's registered office. This would be misleading because the company's operations may be in another region or spread over regions.
