§ Mr. HallTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many house repossession orders were made in the county courts in each year since 1978–79 involving houses in the Warrington South constituency.
Mr. John TaylorThe earliest year for which information is available is 1987. The table shows the total number of mortgage possession orders made in Warrington county court during each year from 1987 to 1992. These figures cover properties throughout Warrington. They do not indicate how many houses have been repossessed through the courts as not all of the orders will have resulted in the issue and execution of warrants of possession. The figures relating solely to properties in the 395W Warrington South constituency could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The 1992 figures are provisional and arc liable to revision to take account of late amendments.
