Debate
Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
Finally, when somebody is not considered capable of maintaining a bank account, they can grant power of attorney to somebody to manage a bank account for them. Does this provision mean that the person who exercises the power of attorney will now come under scrutiny, or that their bank account will come under scrutiny? Perhaps it will not—it is something that I have looked for in the Bill, but I have not been able to find any information in the Bill or in the accompanying Explanatory Notes. I beg to move.
