Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) 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]

We are promised some unspecified jam at some unspecified time. The Minister cannot have expected me to welcome that with open arms. Indeed, he confirmed that he did not expect it. My amendment is rather modest, designed not to look at facts, but at how well the scheme is working in practice. The Treasury tells us that it will review it, but it will not tell us when. It does not tell us exactly what it will do. That is not satisfactory. Is it not a pity that we are in Grand Committee and not on the Floor of the House? However, we are where we are, so we will have to defer more extensive consideration of the amendment until a later stage. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 14 agreed to. Schedule 2 agreed to. Clause 15 [Distribution of dormant account money by Big Lottery Fund]:
