HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 c14W
Mr. George Gardiner

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the total number of personal bankruptcies, voluntary company liquidations and compulsory company liquidations in the following periods (a) July 1945 to October 1951, (b) October 1951 to October 1964, (c) October 1964 to June 1970, (d) June 1970 to February 1974 and (e) February 1974 to the latest available date.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The figures which relate to England and Wales are:

of studies conducted by member States and in the light of worldwide experience. The scales are related to the class of operations at the airfield.

The Civil Aviation Authority notified licensees of aerodromes of the revised scales, and emphasised the need for them to be met as soon as practicable. Most of the island airstrips on Orkney and Shetland at present fail to meet the recommended scales and, therefore, fall below the internationally accepted standards for the class of operations conducted at these aerodromes.
