Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.
Saving Gateway Accounts Bill
As the Economic Secretary said, there is broad support for the Bill. He also mentioned on Report how long it had taken to get the Bill on to the statute book. The idea behind it was first mooted in Labour’s 2001 general election manifesto, and it will come into force after the next general election—I do not know whether that is the longest time it has taken a pledge to move from manifesto to enactment, but 10 years is a long time for people to wait.
