<p> </p><p>Figures for the number of bankruptcies, debt relief orders and individual
voluntary arrangements in each region of England and each London borough in 2011 and
2012 can be found in the tables below. The sum of these procedures represents the
total number of individual insolvencies in each area.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The
Insolvency Service compiles its regional individual insolvency statistics on a calendar
year basis, therefore financial year totals are not available. Figures for 2013 will
be available on the Insolvency Service website from 10 July 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
