HC Deb 14 November 1988 vol 140 c430W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what information is available to him on the number of houses repossessed in Scotland for each year since 1974 by(a) building societies and (b) other mortgage lenders.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The Building Societies Association publishes statistics on the number of repossessions by building societies in the United Kingdom as a whole. No corresponding information is available for Scotland only. No information is held centrally on other mortgage lenders.
