Diana Johnson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2014-04-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what steps he has taken to ensure that the Official Receiver’s statutory duties are completed in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire once the Hull Official Receiver’s office is closed.

Jenny Willott

The Official Receiver’s office will be based in Leeds, and in common with other Official Receivers, be responsible for insolvencies over a geographical area, which will include the East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. An interview facility will be opened in the Hull area so that face-to-face interviews can be undertaken locally as needed and there is no reduction in the service provided to customers.
