Ian Lavery

Labour — Blyth and Ashington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 June 2025

Debate

Bank Closures and Banking Hubs

Contribution

That sounds like the same sort of situation as the one we had in Blyth. There were cash machines outside and inside, but the cash machines outside ran out of cash. There were people knocking on the shop windows asking the people who were filling the shelves to get some money for them from the cash machines inside—how ludicrous is that? How ridiculous!
