§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many discharged bankrupts have had their pensions seized as a result of the judgment in the Landau case. [25058]
§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsThe judgment in the Landau case provided judicial clarification of the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986 as to the rights of a trustee in bankruptcy and a bankrupt to the benefits arising from a retirement annuity contract, similar in nature to a personal pension, held by a bankrupt at the date of bankruptcy.
The information as to the number of discharged bankrupts whose pensions have been seized by trustees in bankruptcy under the Insolvency Act 1986 is not held centrally.
