Clause 2

Again, I have just a few questions for my hon. Friend the Economic Secretary. Is it envisaged that the expiry date of one’s eligibility notice will be short term—a month, perhaps—or will it be longer term? If one’s eligibility for the saving gateway continues after the expiry date, will another eligibility notice be issued? For example, if someone has a three-month expiry date and is eligible for a saving gateway account for 12 months, will they get four notices in that period? Will there be a process in place to ensure that people get a notice immediately on the expiry of their old notice or will there be a gap between the two?
