Written Question · S1W-11805 · Session 1
How many (a) poindings and (b) warrant sales it estimates will be carried out between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2002.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) poindings and (b) warrant sales it estimates will be carried out between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2002.
The answer
It is not possible to make an accurate estimate of the numbers of poindings and warrant sales which might be carried out for the period 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2002. This will depend on the practices of individual creditors and the circumstances of individual debtors.The numbers of poindings and warrant sales carried out in the last three years for which figures are available are shown in the table: | 1997 | 1998 | 1999
Number of poindings | 25,059 | 23,067 | 21,737
Number of warrant sales | 609 | 513 | 433
If the trend shown in these figures were to continue, one could expect of the order of 34,000 poindings and 300 warrant sales to take place in the two years to 31 December 2002.
