Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

We touched on this matter yesterday. I did not pursue my Amendment No. 32, because, on reflection, it could be better drafted. As to the rest of the clause, the noble Lord, Lord Bach, kindly indicated in response to a comment of mine that the Government might seriously consider redrafting subsection (2) so as to make it more comprehensible to the ordinary citizen and professionals. The noble Lord was more equivocal about my amendment to Clause 1, which suggested a small alteration. Just in case the Government might consider looking at that again, the adverb ““contractually”” should be inserted after ““interest””, rather than the adjective ““contractual”” before it.
