CHILDREN TRUST FUNDS AND POST OFFICE

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the Government's proposal for children's trust funds; notes the facility for family and friends to make additional payments to such funds and sees great merit in a suitable fund mechanism being established by the Post Office in partnership with the main banks which would allow top-up payments to be made at any of the Post Office and sub-post office outlets; and calls on the Treasury to pursue such a trust mechanism as a priority to allow the widest and most convenient access to the Children's Trust initiative.
