HC Deb 24 January 1994 vol 236 cc68-9W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list, for each scheme operated by his Department under which loans are available, the objectives of the scheme, the number of unrecovered loans, the total value of unrecovered loans, the average number of unrecovered loans for each year since 1990, the average value of unrecovered loans for each year since 1990 and the annual cost of recovering loans.

Mr. Redwood

My Department does not operate any loan schemes available to the public or bodies corporate other than advances from the national loans fund to certain non-departmental public bodies. The annual accounts for those advances are audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General and laid before Parliament.
