HC Deb 11 April 1984 vol 58 cc232-3W
Mr. Hirst

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will estimate the number of instances where the proximate cause of the failure of a business undertaking can be attributed to the inability of that undertaking, for whatever reason, to obtain formal judgment of insolvency against a defaulting debtor.

Mr. Trippier

The information is not available and could not be obtained without disproportionate expenditure.
