On 8 January 2007, Ed Balls MP (Lab/Co-op, Normanton), Economic Secretary, made a Written Ministerial Statement on the Child Trust Fund in which he said “I will write to all MPs later this week with details of new Child Trust Fund account opening figures for their constituencies, in order to consider what more can be done locally to encourage parents to make the most of the opportunities the Child Trust Fund represents.” 

The BSA also wrote to MPs with the latest version of the Association’s CTF leaflet, highlighting the role building societies play in delivering this policy.
