§ Mr. McBrideasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many mortgages he estimates were made available by building societies operating in Wales in the years 1971 and 1972 where Welsh applicants for such mortgages were earning £25 to £30 per week.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThe information is not available in this form but I estimate that in 1972 about 5,500 building society mortgages in Wales were granted to mortgagors with weekly earnings of less than £31. The equivalent figure for 1971 was about 7,000.
