HC Deb 21 December 1981 vol 15 c277W
Mr. Major

asked the Secretary of State for Trade when he expects the Insolvency Law Review Committee to report upon whether company liquidations should be subject to regulation.

Mr. Eyre

The final report of the insolvency law review committee under the chairmanship of Sir Kenneth Cork is expected early next year and will be published. The question of the extent to which regulation is necessary in voluntary liquidations has been given much attention by the committee. In the light of such recommendations as the committee may make and the ensuing public debate, the Government will be better able to determine what steps are necessary and desirable.
