Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2024

Debate

Banking Services: Rural Northumberland

Contribution

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. He is absolutely right that everyone in the House tonight will have experienced bank closures. I have lost 11 branches in my constituency. Does he agree that before a bank decides to close a branch, it should have an alternative in place, such as a banking hub, an ATM or alternative services through a post office?
