Written Question
Bank Services
Friday 25th November 2016

Asked by: Craig Williams (Conservative - Montgomeryshire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to make representations to the British Bankers Association on reviewing the industry protocol on access to banking.

Answered by Simon Kirby

On 10 November the British Bankers’ Association published Professor Russel Griggs’ independent ‘one year on’ review of the Access to Banking Protocol. The government is pleased to see that the industry is committing to further improvements to protect those affected by bank branch closures. While the decision to close a branch remains a commercial judgement for banks, the impact on communities must be understood, considered and mitigated where possible.

"This welcome Budget for Cardiff is delivering the Cardiff city deal, in stark contrast to the Labour Assembly Government, who are the most centralising Government in western democracy. Businessmen and women welcome the business rates relief, and the localism in the Budget is incredibly popular. Would my hon. Friend encourage …..."
