Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will publish the report produced by the Insolvency Service on the collapse of the Comet Group, and whether they will take that report into account when conducting any review of the circumstances leading to the collapse of BHS.
The Insolvency Service investigated Comet under provisions of the Companies Act, which means it is not possible to publish the report.
The Insolvency Service continuously builds on the experience gained in all its investigations to inform its work.
