David Mundell

Conservative — Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2026

Debate

Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector

Contribution

To obtain funding, most small organisations require a bank account. Is the Secretary of State aware that many organisations are struggling to get a bank account? Some banks do not offer those services to small and voluntary organisations, or a huge amount of bureaucracy needs to be entered into in order to get an account. Will the Secretary of State speak with her colleagues in the Treasury to get to the bottom of why it is so difficult for small and voluntary organisations to get a bank account?
