Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Henley on 25 January (HL4836), how many Insolvency Service reports have been published since January 2015; and how many reports have been completed and not published since that date.

Following its investigation of a director’s conduct the Insolvency Service does not prepare or publish specific reports. It will put any allegations of misconduct to the directors and seek their explanation. Should the case go to Court, the matter would be prepared as a court affidavit.

Following disqualification, the Insolvency Service publishes a summary of the misconduct online in every case.
