§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to collect information pertaining to the number of Welsh businesses going into liquidation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodNo. Information is collected by the Insolvency Service, an executive agency within the Department of Trade and Industry, on liquidations in England and Wales. I do not consider that attempting a separate count for Wales could be justified in terms of the cost to public funds.
