Table 1 shows the number of bankruptcies in each London constituency derived from postcodes provided by bankrupt individuals.
Classifying bankrupts into geographic areas is done using the postcode that the bankrupt individual provides. The use of this in assigning an individual to a constituency is thus as reliable as the postcode information provided.
