Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL].


Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

Although this is not strictly germane to the Bill, can the Minister try to persuade company registrars to join this one-stop shop? They are the real villains of the piece here but they make absolutely no effort to reunite with their money those who are entitled to dividends and, in some cases, capital sums following reorganisations or takeovers. People change addresses and there must be hundreds and thousands of unclaimed assets knocking about but the registrars do nothing about it.
