HC Deb 21 June 1978 vol 952 c190W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much money was made available to Scottish borrowers from building societies in the last year for which figures are available; and how much was deposited by Scottish lenders in the same period.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

The April edition of the Building Societies Association's quarterly publication "Facts and Figures" showed that during 1977 societies lent £450 million in Scotland for house purchase and improvement. Net receipts amounted to £334 million and £83 million of interest were credited to depositors' accounts.
