HC Deb 14 February 2002 vol 380 c581W
Mr. Gareth R. Thomas

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list(a) co-operation and (b) community benefit societies registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 with a registered address in (i) London, (ii) Norfolk, (iii) Hampshire and (iv) Lancashire. [35973]

Ruth Kelly

The information is not readily available. I can, however, give an estimate of the number of Industrial and Provident Societies as a whole of each of these regions:

  • 1,088 have a registered office address in London;
  • 93 in Norfolk;
  • 203 in Hampshire;
  • 184 in Lancashire.
