Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

I support the amendments. It is eminently sensible that there should be some process of consultation in the devolved territories. As the Bill stands, those Administrations can determine how money will be spent across a broad definition of social and environmental matters, with no consultation whatever. At least we know broadly how the money will be spent in England, and we have been able to debate it. That is not the case with the other territories. Therefore, the amendment seems sensible.
