answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2020 answer text <p>The dormant assets scheme is managed by Reclaim Fund Ltd (RFL), who estimate that £68m of new assets will be received by them in 2020, followed by £83m in 2021 and £54m in 2022. Estimates are not made beyond this point, but RFL anticipates that ongoing levels will remain broadly similar in 2023. It should be noted that the dormant asset scheme is voluntary and so estimates can vary over time.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 03/09/2020 15:57:33 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2020 answer text <p>Reclaim Fund Ltd annually receives dormant assets and reserves the amount required to meet customer reclaims. The remainder is allocated to The National Lottery Community Fund for distribution. In an unprecedented move to respond to the Covid-19 crisis, all money available for distribution this financial year was allocated in May 2020 as part of the government’s announcement of £150m of dormant assets funding. This money is supporting charities, social enterprises, and vulnerable communities to respond to and recover from the pandemic. There are therefore no unallocated funds available for England at this time.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 03/09/2020 15:59:49 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
