Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2026

Debate

Banking Hubs

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving way and for securing this debate and choosing this topic. He is so right that there are older and vulnerable people who are not able to access banking services or to access cash because of high street bank closures. Does he share my view that the Government’s introduction of the Financial Services and Markets Bill today in the other place presents a great opportunity for them to consider how banking services and access to cash can be provided in rural areas?
