HC Deb 20 June 1984 vol 62 c168W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of building society holdings in the current year for which figures are available, compared with the previous 12 months; how many registered building societies there are in the United Kingdom; and how often he meets representatives of the Building Societies Association.

Mr. Ian Stewart

For details of building society shares and deposits, I refer my hon. Friend to tables 7.4 and 7.5 ofFinancial Statistics.

The number of registered building societies at 31 December 1983 was 206.

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor and I meet representatives of the Building Societies Association periodically as and when matters of mutual interest and concern arise.
