<p>After this matter was raised by the Hon. Member for Bradford South (Gerry Sutcliffe)
at Prime Minister’s Questions on 28 June 2014, I, along with officials from the Insolvency
Service, held a meeting with the Hon. Member for Bradford South, Mr Sutcliffe, on
17 July 2014. Mr Sutcliffe is head of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for this issue,
and therefore representative of stakeholders’ views. At that meeting he handed over
further information from the liquidators of two companies which operated the extended
warranty schemes sold by Scottish Power, and we agreed that the Insolvency Service
would review this information to ascertain whether or not further investigation was
appropriate. It was explained to Mr Sutcliffe that any decision whether or not to
commence an investigation using s447 Companies Act would be confidential and the Insolvency
Service would not be in a position to confirm that decision or comment further.</p><p>
