I intend to bring forward a short Bill which will contain some purely technical drafting amendments to the Personal Insolvency Act 2012.

More broadly, I continue to keep all aspects of the personal insolvency legislation under careful ongoing review.

The Statement of Government Priorities 2014-2016provides, in particular, for the completion of a review of the operation of the Insolvency Service by the end of this year to ensure that the Service has the powers needed to support families willing to work their way through their debt problems. This review is currently under way.
