HC Deb 27 November 1979 vol 974 c636W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many company formations and company bankruptcies there were in Dundee and Scotland last year.

Mr. Eyre

In 1978 the number of company liquidations—compulsory plus creditors' voluntary—in Scotland was 274. The number of new companies registered was 2,955, but this gives no indication of the number which started trading. No separate figures are available for Dundee.
