5 Unclaimed dividends etc. on Government stock. U.K.

(1)After the coming into force of this section, no transfer of unclaimed stock or payment of unclaimed dividends or redemption moneys shall be made by [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] to the National Debt Commissioners under Part VII of the National M1Debt Act 1870, or paragraph 6 of the Third Schedule to the M2Finance Act 1921.

(2)[F8The Registrar of Government Stock] shall from time to time pay to the National Debt Commissioners sums equal to the aggregate amount of all moneys due on Government stock which having been entrusted to [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] for payment are unclaimed, other than moneys in respect of which a payment has already been made to the Commissioners under this subsection or under any earlier enactment relating to unclaimed dividends or redemption moneys on Government stock.

(3)For the purposes of the last foregoing subsection any moneys due on Government stock and not claimed by the person entitled shall be deemed to be unclaimed if a period of five years, or in the case of redemption moneys two years, has elapsed since the due date, but [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] may treat any such moneys as unclaimed before the expiration of that period.

[F9(4)Where the Registrar of Government Stock makes a payment under subsection (2) of this section in respect of any moneys due on Government stock, and afterwards pays those moneys to the person entitled, the amount paid to the National Debt Commissioners in respect of those moneys shall be repaid by them to the Registrar of Government Stock.]

(5)Any sums paid to the National Debt Commissioners under this section otherwise than in respect of unclaimed redemption moneys shall be placed to their account of unclaimed dividends, and any repayment by them to [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] under subsection (4) of this section otherwise than in respect of redemption moneys shall be made out of that account.

(6)Any sums paid to the National Debt Commissioners under this section in respect of unclaimed redemption moneys shall be invested by them in the purchase of such Government stock as the Treasury may from time to time direct, and the investments shall be placed to the Commissioners’ account of unclaimed redemption moneys with the investments made by virtue of paragraph 6 of the Third Schedule to the M3Finance Act 1921.

(7)The dividends received by the National Debt Commissioners on the investments of their account of unclaimed redemption moneys shall be placed to their account of unclaimed dividends, and any repayment by the Commissioners in respect of redemption moneys whether under subsection (4) of this section or otherwise shall be made out of those investments or, if they are insufficient, out of the account of unclaimed dividends.

(8)The Treasury may from time to time empower [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] to investigate the circumstances of any sums due on Government stock and not claimed with a view to ascertaining the persons entitled, and may allow [F8the Registrar of Government Stock] such compensation as the Treasury think just for [F10the Registrar of Government Stock's] trouble and expense in that behalf; and any such compensation shall be paid by the National Debt Commissioners out of their account of unclaimed dividends.

(9)If at any time the National Debt Commissioners certify to the Treasury that the sums standing to the credit of the Commissioners’ account of unclaimed dividends are not sufficient to meet the payments to be made out of that account, the amounts needed to meet those payments shall be issued out of the [F11National Loans Fund]; but where at the end of any financial year the sums standing to the credit of the account exceed one hundred thousand pounds or such other figure as the Treasury may from time to time determine, the excess shall be [F11paid into the National Loans Fund.]
