Proceeding contribution from Lord Shutt of Greetland (Liberal Democrat) 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 grateful for the Minister’s words, but I fail to see why this matter cannot be made clearer in the Bill. I do not want anyone in this National Lottery funding body to say, ““Ah well, we have seen the word ““must”” and the reference to young people, but we have seen your application and you’re going a bit further than that and therefore we’ll have to decline your application””. I want to put a stop to that before it starts. It may well be that if the Minister’s words are as far as we can get, they will have to be stuck on the desk of everyone who looks at these funds in due course. However, in my view, this is a very important matter and we will reflect on whether to have another go at it on another occasion. For the time being, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 72 not moved.]
