Labour — Blyth and Ashington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2024

Debate

Banking Services: Rural Northumberland

Contribution

Banking hubs are in many ways very helpful. However, will the Minister consider reviewing the criteria? I have an issue in my constituency where the distance of the nearest bank is one tenth of a mile too short to get a banking hub. Because of that, they are considering not putting a banking hub in place. Is there potential to review the criteria, to support the most vulnerable people in our communities?
