HC Deb 03 June 1998 vol 313 cc291-4W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of state for Scotland how many mortgage repossession orders there were to each court district in each quarter since the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1998. [43930]

Mr. Dewar

Figures in relation to repossession of property by mortgage lenders have been collected by the courts since a revised system of collected Civil Judicial Statistics was instituted on 1 January 1994. The figures since the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1998 are shown in the tables. Not all lenders who are granted decree actually enforce them.
