New Clause 2
Saving Gateway Accounts Bill
10:00 am
Mark Hoban (Shadow Minister, Treasury; Fareham, Conservative)
I hope that the hon. Gentleman has impressed the Whip sufficiently that he will not be called on to participate in the Finance Bill Committee. He should be careful what he wishes for.
There is widespread agreement on the Bill and we all share the aims of encouraging a saving culture among those who feel excluded from saving. We hope that it is successful in encouraging more people to enjoy the benefits that most other people enjoy from having savings, such as protection against uncertainty and the opportunity to provide for their future.
