A consultation seeking views on proposals for accessing limited funds belonging to an individual who lacks mental capacity, which included Child Trust Funds, was published by the Ministry of Justice in November 2021. The response to the consultation was published in February 2023: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/mental-capacity-act-small-payments-scheme. Copies are available in the House library.
