§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will give the latest figures for repossessions in England and Wales by month in tabular form.
Mr. John M. TaylorThe table gives the total number of mortgage possession actions entered, suspended orders and orders made in England and Wales during January, February and March of this year. 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 issue and execution of warrants of possession. At this stage the figures are provisional and therefore liable to revision in the future.
