2,144 |

2,424 |
The number of applications sanctioned was 1,249, 1,164 and 1,367, respectively, and the number of loans issued was 843, 755 and 794, respectively.
Has the Minister conveniently to his hand the amount of the total loans issued in each of those years?
No, but I remember the figure from last day. It was about £3,800,000. I do not know, however, how much for each year.
