<p>As you may be aware, the Government recently launched a consultation on expanding
the dormant assets scheme beyond bank and building society accounts to include a wider
range of financial assets. The Government is committed to this expansion, unlocking
substantial sums of unclaimed assets for good causes while maintaining and improving
consumer protection.</p><p> </p><p>It is right and proper that the feedback from this
consultation shapes any future dormant assets legislation. The Government will engage
with the Leader of the House on the introduction of this legislation when appropriate.</p>
