§ Ms Rachel SquireTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many mortgage repossession orders there were for each court district for each quarter since the first quarter of 1991. [17233]
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 24 February 1997]: Figures in relation to repossession of property by mortgage lenders have been collected by the courts only since a revised system of collecting civil judicial statistics was instituted on 1 January 1994. The figures for 1994 and 1995 and provisional figures for 1996 are shown in the following tables. Not all lenders who are granted decrees actually enforce them.
