Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 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 understand that. However, as the argument, presumably, is that the Big Lottery Fund would carry out the operation more economically than a separate organisation, does he have any figures to support that? Secondly, the Minister referred to applications from Lancashire, which raises the question of whether the money may be used as a substitute for expenditure that ought to be made by a local council. Perhaps I have misunderstood him on that.
