There is no automatic requirement to anymore, the OR has the discretion to not do it (which most exercise) the only place that is done in all cases is the London Gazette.

 

It was changed a while ago and i am sure if you needed to could track down the source.

Ime trying to find a link in the insolvency service to confirm this

A record of your bankruptcy will be kept on the bankruptcy register until three months after you are discharged.

A record will also exist in the London Gazette as the official receiver administering your bankruptcy is required to advertise your bankruptcy there possibly the local newspaper.

The London Gazette is an official newspaper of the Crown and in many cases its notices are statutory in nature and used in legal proceedings.

It contains a wide range of official notices including corporate insolvency and personal bankruptcies. Hence, the London Gazette is widely used by Credit Managers and other such professionals.

I can confirm this is the case as it is where i have worked for the last 8 years, but i will see if i can find a link for you tomorrow at work. It is probably in the technical manual under advertising

Mine was in the London Gazette only, but all details are normally held on the Insolvency website for a set period of time, searchable by the public.

Thanks people

 

a friend of mine is going bankrupt and is worried his name will appear in the local gazzette or chronicle

[chesham]

No, it goes back to the days when creditors were local, and credit reports did not exist - it was advertised and people would see that a local customer was now insolvent etc...things have changed, the only requirement is the London Gazette, but the record is public.
