It is currently estimated to be worth over £460 million.</p><p>The terms of the deed of Trust for the National Fund are such that the Trustees are required to accumulate the net income and profits of the trust fund until the value of the fund along with its accumulated income, when added to the value of any other funds applicable for the same purpose, is sufficient to discharge the entirety of the National Debt. Given the terms of the trust, the money is currently ‘locked’ in the fund.</p><p>The Attorney General’s Office is working with the Charity Commission and the Fund’s trustees to help resolve this legally complicated matter.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 22/01/2018 14:42:46 question first ministerially corrected 16/05/2018 10:48:18 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie attachment 1 file name Chart 2.pdf title Chart previous answer version 35717 answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
