Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [Lords].


Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [Lords]

I welcome the boost that the scheme will give youth services, but what many of those services need in particular is an asset base. A straight revenue grant will be of no use, because it will merely postpone some of the problems. Can we be creative in the way in which the lottery is asked to provide funds? Surely providing that asset base is the most appropriate use of the funds.
