HC Deb 29 March 1971 vol 814 c255W
40. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many firms, having employees in the London Borough of Brent and the Hendon areas, have gone bankrupt in the last year; and what is his estimate of the number of redundancies which ensued.

Mr. Ridley

Comprehensive information is not available. I understand, however, that since December, 1969 there have been 360 redundancies of employees of three particular businesses which were carried on in the Borough of Brent or the Hendon area; of these two were companies which went into creditors' voluntary liquidation.
