Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

Obviously, if one sets the figure very high the number of claimants is likely to be lower. I am slightly worried about the five and 11p as I was the Minister responsible for carrying decimalisation through. But be that as it may, I come to the important point originally raised by my noble friend Lady Noakes on the question of confidentiality. I find it difficult to believe that British banks are more worried about confidentiality than are Swiss banks, which had no problem with this. I suspect that, while it may be a helpful argument if you do not really want to become too proactive, it is not a genuine problem. I am most grateful for the response from various colleagues. Let us see where we get to at Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
