Mr. Bernie Grant
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many firms in the building trade and the furniture trade have gone into liquidation in each year since 1979 inclusive; and, in each year, how many of those firms in each category were based in Tottenham or Edmonton prior to going into liquidation.
Mr. Redwood
The information on company liquidations resulting from insolvency in timber and furniture manufacturing and in construction for England and Wales is as follows. Information is not collected by location; nor is furniture collected separately from timber. No sectoral breakdown is available for voluntary liquidations.
