§ Mr. CotterTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many of each type of 714 certificate have been issued in each of the last three years. [74134]
§ Dawn PrimaroloThe number of certificates issued in the last three years are as follows:
- Year ended 31 January 1999: 141,234
- Year ended 31 January 1998: 237,995
- Year ended 31 January 1997: 171,424.
These figures include certificates issued to replace documents which have been lost or damaged. Certificates generally have a life of up to three years, so many certificate holders will have applied for just one certificate in this three year period.
