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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many licensed insolvency practitioners have been charged with misconduct since the publication of the Tomlinson report, Banks' Lending Practices: Treatment of Businesses in distress, published in November 2013.

Details of sanctions imposed against insolvency practitioners by their licensing bodies are published each year as part of The Insolvency Service’s ‘Annual Review of Insolvency Practitioner Regulation’. In addition, sanctions within the past 12 months are published individually on The Service’s website.

108 sanctions have been published since the beginning of January 2014.

2 recent sanctions will be added to the website shortly.
