Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 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]

We do not support the amendment in terms because we do not think that it is appropriate for the Government to appoint directors—certainly not all of them. I can see that there might be a case for some government nominees, given the public nature of this issue. However, I think that the main purpose of the amendment is to probe what is happening so that we can be satisfied that it is acceptable, and therefore I support it to that extent.
