Child Trust Fund: Mental Capacity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of matured Child Trust Funds that are unclaimed belong to people who lack capacity.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Providers of Child Trust Funds are financial organisations who are independent of government.
As a result, my Department does not hold information on volumes of matured, unclaimed Child Trust Funds belonging to people who lack capacity, or information on the number of providers who have allowed carers of young people without capacity to access Child Trust Funds up to £5,000 without legal authority.
