Question:157 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the situation with HFA house loans taken out in 1984 for £20,000 and which now have accumulated to practically three times the amount borrowed; if there is a scheme to offer the clients a new loan repayment system; if the interest rate on loans can be outlined; if interest rate reductions in recent years have been put into effect; if encouragement can be offered to clients to pay off loans and remortgage elsewhere; and the terms which can be offered in such cases.
