Banking Hubs

Debate between Graham Leadbitter and Gagan Mohindra

Wednesday 20th May 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gagan Mohindra (South West Hertfordshire) (Con)]

The hon. Gentleman has been very generous with his time in allowing all these interventions. Does he agree that part of this is about fairness? Without the access to the professional advice that they would get from face-to-face banking, some businesses might not succeed as much as they should have done. In my own constituency, we have seen high streets being closed, but we have not yet been successful in getting a bank hub in Abbots Langley, despite there being a community demand and, I would argue, a need for it.

[Graham Leadbitter]

The hon. Gentleman makes a fantastic point and I will come on to that later in my remarks.
