The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of introducing new restrictions on developers who have a history of bankcruptcy on the housing sector.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

No such specific assessment has been made by my Department. I refer the hon. Member to the information on restrictions for people who have declared bankruptcy available on gov.uk here.
