Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 November 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 thank the Minister both for giving way and for indulging me, as someone who was not on the Committee but who takes an interest in these matters. I welcome the indications that the Government have opened their mind to the idea of a review. The Minister will be well aware of concerns inside the third sector about the response of banks to this opportunity as a result of economic circumstances. He said that new clause 2 was very similar to new clause 3, but does he not see differences in the scope for more regular reports and in the pressure that the Opposition new clause would place on the Treasury to do more than just report what is happening and to come to the House to suggest improvements?
