Proceeding contribution from Lord Newby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.


Saving Gateway Accounts Bill

To come back on that question of cost, I have been enjoying reading the Ipsos MORI note that the Minister made available earlier. It said that one of the main reasons why people did not continue to save under the scheme was that they had since retired. The proportion of people who would take up this proposed eligibility would not be great. There obviously is a cost, but I wonder what proportion of people would take it up, and just how great that cost would be.
