HC Deb 01 November 1995 vol 265 c295W
Mrs. Roche

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many petitions for bankruptcy have been begun by his Department for businesses with under 500 employees in each of the last five years. [40502]

Mr. Hague

This information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, such petitions would be initiated only in exceptional circumstances and the number of cases is therefore likely to be small.
