§ Mr. MealeTo ask the Attorney-General if he will list the numbers of mortgage repossessions in the Nottinghamshire and Mansfield areas by county court division for each year since 1979.
The Attorney-GeneralThe figures for the number of repossessions are not collected. The only information available on mortgage possession is the number of actions entered and orders made in each county court. The tables248W give the information for each county court in Nottinghamshire from 1987—the earliest year for which it is available. These figures do not indicate how many houses have been repossessed through the courts as not all of the orders made will have resulted in the execution of warrants of possession. At this stage the 1991 figures are provisional and therefore liable to revision in the future.
