Economic Downturn (Unemployment)

The Minister is talking about some of the schemes that the Government have introduced to give support to people, particularly to those who are trying to service their mortgages when they have been made redundant. The Government introduced a scheme of this type around nine months ago and a couple of months ago we discovered that only six families across the whole of the United Kingdom have been helped by that scheme in the first eight months since it was established. Can he tell us how many families in the south-west have benefited from that scheme?
