Forty-eight licences were issued by the Financial Regulator under Section 93 of the Consumer Credit Act 1995 in 2006. The Financial Regulator does not collate this information on a county by county basis. However, my Department has arranged for the Deputy to be forwarded a copy of the Financial Regulator's register of moneylenders which provides details of the business addresses and the applicable Court Districts Number of each licensee. This information is also publicly available from the Financial Regulator.
