Gatehouse EA (NLA) is there a minimum amount to keep account open?

Moving my money elsewhere as rate goes down to 4.27% from tomorrow 19/3. The documents I have regarding the account don't state a minimum deposit/amount to be held to keep the account open. I'd rather keep it open if I can rather than close, but not if it's a high minimum. Can't find anything on their website, not to say it isn't there.

Minimum opening deposit was £1. So presume this is the minimum balance.1

Minimum operational balance for this account is £1. I don't know whether they enforce it or not, I never went below £1.1 -
Just to add, as a reminder, the ERG version of the EA, which Gatehouse's RS matured into, drops to the rate above on 27th March.2
