Dormant accounts - Brown's raid

such a "law" would be unlikely to make it past parliament!

Why not?

It was in the Labour Party manifesto. To their discredit the Tories (like Frank Field) only differed in that they want the money to go to pay for failed pensions rather than to charities.

Or were you referring to the incredible NZ situation, digp?

Which "law" are you talking about?

Correct me if am wrong, ReportInvestor.
I thought in the UK, you were only allowed to have three different mini-cash ISA providers, according to the IR and as advised on the FSA site.
As you say, you can invest in only one in each tax year.

Nothing to do with the government, Deemy.
The financial institutions decide 'what is what' in NZ as far as personal accounts are concerned.
NZ have very few 'black arm banders'.
Sorry Deemy, but could not finish my post as grandchildren came round to play.
You will find that OZ has even less 'black arm banders'.
