The Enterprise Bill
Published at the end of March 2002, one of the main measures of the Bill is to make the insolvency regime more supportive of enterprise. Patricia Hewitt, Trade and Industry Secretary, said, "We must have a modern insolvency regime which supports enterprise and encourages risk-taking. In the UK, 31.5 per cent of people say that failure would prevent them from starting a business. In the US, that level is just 21 per cent. The Enterprise Bill will help to reduce the stigma associated with honest failures, including bad- luck bankruptcies."
