Proceeding contribution from Martyn Jones (Labour) 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 am sorry to interrupt my hon. Friend's flow, but, as he did not serve on the Committee, perhaps he may be under a misapprehension. People's money will not be taken—the money will always be there. People who lose contact with their funds will always have access to them—that is one of my reasons for pressing for the measure for the past 10 years. People can get their money. We are discussing using the money that cannot be given back to people for good causes rather than for profits for the banks.
