Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans does she have to decrease the time taken to return savings to estates of the deceased.
This question was answered on 17th July 2026
On 19 May, I updated Parliament that from the week commencing 25 May, NS&I would start to contact affected estates, with holdings of £10 or more, to reunite them with the holdings owed to them. Remediation will be delivered in phases. NS&I has since issued letters and repayments to the first cohort of affected estates. NS&I aims to return holdings to affected estates as swiftly as possible and expects to complete its remediation programme in the first half of 2027.
