A Conservative MP has been made bankrupt after a judge in a specialist court heard how he owed around £1.7 million.
Judge Nicholas Briggs made a bankruptcy order against Adam Afriyie, who represents Windsor, at an online hearing in the Insolvency and Companies Court on Tuesday. The judge was told Afriyie owed about £1 million to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and about £700,000 to Barclays.
In May, another judge approved a plan for Afriyie to sell a property. Afriyie, who did not attend Tuesday's hearing, had written asking for more time to sell the property.
