§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many house repossession orders have been granted.
Mr. John M. TaylorI have been asked to reply.
The latest figures on mortgage repossession actions are contained in an information bulletin which has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament. These figures do not indicate how many houses have been repossessed through the courts as not all of the orders will have resulted in the issue and execution of warrants of possession. At this stage the 1992 figures are provisional and therefore liable to revision to take account of any late amendments.
