Response
I attach a copy of most of the information you requested.
Some of the information you have requested is available from the Accountant in Bankruptcy website at Statistics & data | Accountant in Bankruptcy (aib.gov.uk). These statistics contain the response to questions 1,2 and 3. Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website(s) listed, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy.
I have attached an excel spreadsheet with the response to questions 4 to 12 for the period 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022 as the statistics for the previous six months have already been provided to you.
