HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 cc742-3W
Mr. McLeish

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the total number of house repossessions in Scotland in 1979, 1987 and 1988, respectively.

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, but no corresponding information is available for Scotland only. No information is held centrally on other mortgage lenders.
