Mr. Lee
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many cases of foreclosure and sale of mortgaged private dwellings occurred during the last 12 months; in how many cases such foreclosures arose out of payment defaulting in respect of secondary, or tertiary mortgages; and what was the total debt involved.
