Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 January 2008. 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]

I cannot tell the noble Lord exactly how it will be done, but I take his point about year-on-year accounts as far as banks are concerned. I should have thought that a reclaim fund publication listing the banks and how much they had given under the scheme would be the best way to make the comparison that all Members of the Committee who have spoken in this short debate want to see, rather than having a whole load of different banks’ annual reports in front of them and comparing one with another. There is a certain advantage in what the Government are proposing here.
