Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the Minister for his kind comments about my noble friend Lord Astor. I am sure he will enjoy reading them in Hansard tomorrow. I am also grateful to the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, for his comments and support. It is fine for the lottery to support the Olympics, but not at the expense of so many other things such as art, heritage and so on. The money from the assets going into Big will simply go to fill up the hole. It would be naive to suppose that there is not some direct correlation between the two. The Minister did not comment on the support of the Big Lottery Fund—I agree with the noble Lord’s comments on the word ““Big””; it would take a genius to think of something quite so inappropriate—for other things such as the National Health Service and education. These are government responsibilities but money has been directed towards them. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
