Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) 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]

Would the hon. Gentleman like to congratulate the Scottish Government on the way in which they approached that very issue, and the £40 million of funding that we will secure? We consulted widely with the entire voluntary sector and engaged the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations, and together they identified the priorities. Is that the way in which that should be done in England? Perhaps England should follow suit.
