house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to assess whether Company Voluntary Arrangements effectively protect the economic interests of HMRC, and those of creditors and property owners.
tabling member printed	Lord Myners
uin	HL14661
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2019 answer text <p>Company voluntary arrangements are a valuable part of the restructuring framework and the Government does not intend to conduct a review of them at this time. A company voluntary arrangement allows a financially distressed company to restructure its debts and avoid liquidation or administration. Approval of more than 75% of creditors is required to pass a company voluntary arrangement and any creditor may still apply to court if it feels its interests are being unfairly prejudiced, this provides an important safeguard for creditors, including HMRC and property owners.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 27/03/2019 15:25:44 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
