HC Deb 26 July 1989 vol 157 c776W
34. Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any plans to assist people getting into difficulties with mortgage repayment.

Mr. Chope

Any person who falls into difficulty with mortgage repayments should contact his or her lender as soon as possible. Responsible lenders will be sympathetic and willing to help.

There are also independent organisations which offer advice to people in this situation. The Government give grants to 20 voluntary bodies which provide such a service.
