Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of trends in the number of property developers who form limited companies and avoid ongoing liability for development sites with which they have been involved in by voluntarily striking off or winding-up those companies.

Companies House publishes regular statistical releases on, among other things, trends in the number of companies removed from the Register over time. The latest release can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/companies-register-activities-statistical-release-2020-to-2021.
