The Insolvency Service publishes National Statistics on insolvency cases for England and Wales combined. It is not possible to identify accurately companies that traded within specific parliamentary constituencies before entering insolvency. The data used for insolvency statistics is compiled from information at Companies House. The registered office address for a company may not be representative of its trading location, and often it is changed upon insolvency to the address of the appointed Insolvency Practitioner dealing with the case. This means that some cases may be counted as being in the constituency of the insolvency practitioner rather than the constituency of the registered office of the company before it went into insolvency.
Subject to these caveats, the table provided as Annex A sets out the data on all registered company insolvencies from March 2020 to January 2021 (inclusive).

The Office for Investment was launched in November 2020 as a small, agile team with the convening power to corral an all of government approach to unblocking barriers for the most high-impact, high-value investors and turning the UK’s investment aspirations into investable propositions.
The Office is working closely with the Department for International Trade’s Posts and Regions as well as other relevant government departments, to identify and secure major investment into the UK demonstrating the government’s ambition to be the best place in the world for investors.
The Office is pursuing investment opportunities that represent the greatest strategic value to the UK economy, and which align with the government’s priorities on levelling up and net zero. Inward investment is integral to the UK’s post-COVID response.

Free trade and resilient supply chains through open markets will be crucial to the global economic recovery. That is why this Department is factoring-in critical supply chains into our COVID-19 strategy and response, working collaboratively with other government departments.
The Department will continue to work with business to build further resilience for the future. Alongside this, the United Kingdom will fight protectionism and unfair trade practices tirelessly, including through the G20 and in the WTO.
There is no export ban on medicines. There are restrictions on exports by holders of a wholesale dealer licence of some medicines put on the United Kingdom market for UK patients. The restrictions have been in place since October 2019. They are aimed at stopping companies from diverting medicines, which have been put on the market for UK patients, to other markets. The restrictions do not apply to medicines manufactured and intended for other markets.
The restrictions are not a response to COVID-19. However, because of COVID-19 more medicines meet the criteria for listing. The restrictions currently apply to under 200 medicines which are in shortage or at risk of being in shortage in the UK. The list is under continual review and medicines will be removed when they no longer meet the criteria.
