[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to help homeless people access bank current accounts. Currently, many homeless people struggle to open accounts because they lack a fixed address or identification. The bill would make it easier for them to get banking services, which is important for receiving government support payments and wages.

Presented by Mr Peter Bone.
