Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

I am also rather puzzled by this. In moving the amendment, my noble friend said that it was unusual for a private sector body to be given directions by the Treasury. I have some difficulty in thinking of any example at all. Perhaps the Minister can provide a list of those, so we know whether we are going into completely uncharted waters. I am also puzzled by subsection (4), which states that the Treasury may give a direction to comply with the obligations or prohibitions imposed by its articles of association. That seems a very unusual provision.
