Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in theOfficial Report a table showing for each year since 1979 the increase in mortgage funds for housing together with the increase in the value of the houses sold by reference to stamp duty or otherwise.

Mr. Lilley

[pursuant to his reply, 28 July 1989, c. 1134]: Information on loans for house purchase is published in table 9.4 of "Financial Statistics". Information for earlier years appears on the Central Statistical Office databank which is available in the House of Commons Library. The table shows the year-on-year increase in the total value of residential property sold since 1979.
