§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the number of households in Wales who lost their home through repossession because of mortgage arrears in the latest available year; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesIn 1994, county courts in Wales made 1,485 mortgage possession orders together with 2,253 suspended orders, whereby the mortgagors are given an opportunity to clear their debts. Information is not recorded centrally on the number of cases in which mortgage possession orders led to warrants to have defendants evicted.
