§ 171. Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the President of the Board of Trade how many firms went into voluntary or compulsory liquidation in 1965; how many employees were involved; what was the total owing to creditors; and how these figures compare with the previous year.
§ Mr. Darling381 voluntary and 29 compulsory liquidations of companies registered in Scotland were begun 107W in 1965. The comparable figures for 1964 are 300 and 14, respectively. I regret that figures for the amounts owed to creditors and the number of employees involved are not available.
