Bank Closures and Banking Hubs

Debate between Alison Griffiths and Ian Lavery

Thursday 5th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Ian Lavery]

I of course agree: the criteria laid down by the Government, the banks, the FCA and Link need to be utterly overhauled to represent people in our communities. I will come on to some of the points that my hon. Friend raises.

[Alison Griffiths (Bognor Regis and Littlehampton) (Con)]

All of us in this House share the concern that the disabled and the vulnerable are losing access not just to cash, but to services. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is high time we asked the Government to ensure that the FCA reviews its guidelines on this?
