Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gary Streeter and John Bercow

Tuesday 1st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

We will hear from a Devon knight, I think. Sir Gary Streeter.

[Sir Gary Streeter (South West Devon) (Con)]

Is not the closure of ATMs linked to the decision by high street banks to close their branches left, right and centre? Will the Minister, in his regular meetings with the chief executives of high street banks, remind them that they do have some duty to elderly customers and small businesses?

[Mr Speaker]

What a pleasure to call a west country knight, no less—Sir Gary Streeter.

[Sir Gary Streeter (South West Devon) (Con)]

I strongly support DFID Ministers’ approach to the prosperity fund, which looks to promote economic reform in middle-income countries, where 70% of the world’s poorest people live. Are not trade and economic reform still the most effective ways to lift people out of poverty?

Debate between Gary Streeter and John Bercow

Thursday 15th March 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I join the Leader of the House in congratulating the hon. Member for Dewsbury (Paula Sherriff), whose message to colleagues will have been heard and digested.

[Mr Gary Streeter (South West Devon) (Con)]

Will my right hon. Friend seek to install a sense of urgency into Departments, perhaps starting with the Department for Transport? Once again, following heavy rainfall, the line from London to Plymouth has been cut—I hope, temporarily—due to flooding in the Exeter region. There is a plan to fix it, but it is taking far too long, and my constituents are fed up about it—and so am I. Will she please help?
