3 An industry breakdown according to the previously used Insolvency Trade Classifications (ITC) is available up to Q3 2006 at http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/otherinformation/statistics/200702/table4.htm. 
  The period fron Q4 2006 to Q2 2007 is not available broken down by industry.
4 Totals for compulsory liquidations here are not the same as the headline figures under Table 1. This is because the industrial breakdown has been compiled from a specially selected extract from the live database, whereas the headline figures are produced monthly using a different reporting system
