HC Deb 23 February 1994 vol 238 cc274-5W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what response his Department has made to the report by the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux on mortgage repossessions.

Mr. Nelson

I was interested to read the recent NACAB report on mortgage repossessions. I commented on the report in a letter to Ms Ann Abraham, the chief executive of NACAB, on 25 November 1993 and I am placing a copy of my letter in the Library. Since then, the Council of Mortgage Lenders has published figures showing a further significant fall in mortgage arrears and possessions in 1993.
