Labour — Hexham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2024

Debate

Banking Services: Rural Northumberland

Contribution

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. For many businesses and constituents, the post office represents a lifeline, albeit one that unfortunately for many businesses is accessed far too infrequently to operate with security. The decision to close rural branches is taken in head offices, with little or no understanding of the rural economy and the impact that such decisions have on our constituents, their businesses and their daily lives.
