(b)without any such resolution having been passed beforehand, an order has been made for the winding up of any company by the court under that Act.
(2)The Secretary of State shall become liable on the commencement of the winding up to discharge any outstanding transferred liability of the company or any outstanding part of such a liability.

(b)a provision made under section 1(1)(b) for the transfer of a liability which on coming into existence was vested in a Minister of the Crown or Her Majesty and has never vested in any other person otherwise than by virtue of a provision made under section 1(1)(a) or (b).
(4)Any sums required by the Secretary of State for discharging any liability imposed on him by this section shall be paid out of money provided by Parliament.
(5)Where the Secretary of State makes a payment to any person in discharge of a liability imposed on him by this section, he shall thereupon become a creditor of the company to the extent of the amount paid, his claim being treated for the purposes of the winding up as a claim in respect of the original liability.
