HC Deb 11 February 1992 vol 203 c417W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Attorney-General if he will list the number of court orders for house repossession in the area covering the Crewe and Nantwich constituency for the years 1979–80, 1990–91 and 1991–92.

The Attorney-General

The Crewe and Nantwich constituency is covered by Crewe county court. The figures for the number of orders made on mortgage possession actions for the year 1979–80 are not available. The table shows the number of actions entered and orders made in Crewe county court for the years 1990–91 and the first three quarters of 1991–92. These figures do not indicate how many houses have been repossessed through the courts as not all the orders made will have resulted in the execution of warrants of possession. At this stage the 1991–92 figures are provisional and therefore liable to revision in the future.

Mortgage possession actions at Crewe county court
Actions entered Orders made
April 1990 to March 1991 290 175
January 1991 to December 1991 325 206

Mr. Allen

To ask the Attorney-General how many mortgage repossession orders have been granted by the courts covering the city of Nottingham in each year since 1978.

The Attorney-General

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Mansfield (Mr. Meale) on 6 February 1992 at column248.
