Question:39 Ms McManus asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to a report from Threshold suggesting that more than one in ten householders fell behind with their mortgage repayments in 1996 and that three houses per week are being repossessed by building societies; the steps, if any, he will take to address the problem of spiralling house prices; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
