Company Liquidations (West Midlands)

Mr. Winnick
asked the Minister for Trade what is the total number of companies in the West Midlands that have gone into liquidation since May 1979; and if he will give comparable information for the three and a half years to May 1979 and the change in percentage terms.

Dr. Vaughan
I regret that there are no official figures available for company liquidations by region within England and Wales.
