Dear Burgoyne, Laura,

Thank you for confirming that the Law Commission have not done any work in the area of Insolvency, may I suggest that this is put onto your agenda as a matter of urgency because the Insolvency Service who holds information is often reluctant to share it with the public, especially when it comes to council's acting as billing authorities being treated as private entities within the courts and not government bodies( departments).

Yours sincerely,

Deb Williams
