Would not effect me, but info may be of use to others.
No, they don't. Not even for credit cards or anything else.
Once you have one account with them, no more hard searches. This is what I really like about Halifax/Lloyds.

Just added a second Reward Current Account. Smooth process. No credit check. Easily funded and new payee created to return fund. £5 Rewards set up.
Just need debit card now to perform the required £500 debit card transaction (a la account 1)
Already have their Halifax Clarity credit card.
Thanks all.0 -
Spotted this in the changes document -
“Restricting the amount you can have in your account
We’ve added a new condition that says if it’s necessary, due to economic circumstances that affect the banking industry, we may restrict the amount you can have in your accounts either by applying a limit or by imposing a charge. If we have to do this and it applies to your account, we’ll write to you with more information.”
Anyone else find this a little worrying?

By contrast the Halifax account genuinely pays £5 for spending £500 on their Visa debit card regardless of where you use it.
