Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

We do not support the amendment in terms because we do not think that it is appropriate for the Government to appoint directors—certainly not all of them. I can see that there might be a case for some government nominees, given the public nature of this issue. However, I think that the main purpose of the amendment is to probe what is happening so that we can be satisfied that it is acceptable, and therefore I support it to that extent.
