Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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]

That is all very well, but one of the Bill’s purposes is for funds from this particular conglomeration to go to social enterprises. The noble Lord, Lord Newby, has just mentioned the health service. I was thinking much more in terms of health charities. Surely to goodness they would be defined as social enterprises. Irrespective of the pecking order for which the noble Lord has just asked my noble friend, the Bill should specify whether the shelling out is going to local charities or whether national charities are included. I hope that the Minister can answer that question for once.
