§ Mrs. BallardTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the number of repossession orders which have been made in the last six months because of arrears caused by the difference between the standard mortgage interest rate and the actual interest rate levied by building societies. [29723]
§ Mr. RaynsfordMy Department does not make estimates relating to possession orders. The Lord Chancellor's Department publishes quarterly figures for mortgage possession orders in the county courts. These give no information on the reasons for the action.
