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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish the number of licensed insolvency practitioners that have been charged with misconduct since the Financial Conduct Authority's report, RBS's treatment of SME customers referred to its Global Restructuring Group, published in September 2016.

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, individual sanctions are published on the Insolvency Service’s website throughout each year.

Seventy sanctions have been published since the start of 2016, 36 of those since the beginning of 2017 and 2 recent sanctions will be added to the website shortly.
