Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (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 am sorry to intervene on this. The Minister keeps talking about Big. This is an activity that is carried out solely by the Secretary of State. He is the one who determines the percentages. Big is just told whether it is English, Welsh or Scottish and so on and then distributes it onwards. The decision on the split has nothing whatever to do with Big, yet the Minister has spent several minutes trying to explain to us how Big is going to make some adjustments. I am confused about what message the Minister is giving us.
