Child Trust Fund
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the (a) number of Child Trust Fund accounts that remain unclaimed and (b) value of funds held in those unclaimed Child Trust Fund accounts.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
The number of Child Trust Funds that have matured and have not been claimed or transferred to an ISA, and the value of funds held in these accounts, can be found in the Child Trust Fund tables of the Annual Savings Statistics.
