Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

This is one of those simple matters where the Minister can say, ““I accept this””. The benefit is obvious, provided that people know who is eligible—if there is a list of eligible members of the scheme, for example. We know that there are 59 building societies and 200-odd banks, and they are eligible. Those that are in the scheme will be obvious and all one needs to see are those that are not. It does not matter how that is done. If the annual report says which bodies are eligible for the scheme and then which ones have paid that year, people can draw their own conclusions. This is one the simplest things we could deal with.
