§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Attorney-General what is the latest available annual figure for mortgage foreclosures in Northern Ireland.
§ The Attorney-GeneralIn 1990, a total of 2,599 originating summonses for the collection of mortgage arrears were issued in the Chancery Division of the High Court for Northern Ireland. The total figure for all mortgage foreclosures in Northern Ireland is not collected centrally. It is not therefore possible to give figures for possession orders granted, cases where suspended possession orders were made, and those cases which did not proceed after the originating summons was issued.
