§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many actions for re-possession as a result of mortgage arrears there have been in(a) the parliamentary constituency of Greenock and Port Glasgow, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole, during each of the past 12 months for which records are available; and what were the average figures for each of the past 10 years.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThis information is not available in the form requested. The Council of Mortgage Lenders publishes statistics in its regular newsletters on various aspects of mortgage lending by building societies but this is on a GB basis and no corresponding information is available for Scotland only. No information about other mortgage lenders is held centrally.
