Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

I entirely recognise the concerns outlined by the Minister. The point of the amendment put to us by the Law Society of Scotland was to make the ability of the banks to pass information to the reclaim fund slightly less restricted. It is still restricted to claims made upon the reclaim fund, but not only to the specific claims made under those two subsections. I shall ask the Law Society of Scotland to consider the Minister’s reply. I am not sure that he dealt fully with the concerns that it raised with me, but if it has ongoing concerns, it would be best if it raised them with the Treasury outside our deliberations in this Committee and, I hope, before we get to Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 45B and 45C not moved.] Clause 12 agreed to.
