Proceeding contribution from Lord Shutt of Greetland (Liberal Democrat) 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 am grateful for the Minister's comments. ““Reawakened”” seems a quite logical name for something which was once awake, became dormant and then was reawakened. It may well have people questioning what it means, which is no bad thing, and asking what happened to the dormant money. That was my thinking. I am perfectly happy to believe that there could be brighter suggestions but ““Big”” and ““Vague”” are not two of them. I will think again—indeed, I hope that others will think again—because we should find an appropriate name. With those comments, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 55 and 56 not moved.]
