Proceeding contribution from Lord Myners (Labour) 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

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for allowing me to add that we are also in very active discussions with the banks. We have a common interest in avoiding anything that would deter banks from offering this product because we want to ensure that it is made available by private sector banks that are wholly in private ownership, and private sector banks in which the Government have an ownership on behalf of society, and we want to achieve broad geographical coverage.
