Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)
Saving the best contribution to last, I call Sureena Brackenridge.
Mrs Sureena Brackenridge (Wolverhampton North East) (Lab)
In Wolverhampton North East in the past five years, we have lost banks from Wednesfield High Street and all banking facilities in the Scotlands and Three Tuns areas. Can the Leader of the House make time for a debate on banking hubs to keep banking on our high streets?

Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)
Exactly. The Minister knows that “you” would refer to me, and that would not be appropriate.
Mrs Sureena Brackenridge (Wolverhampton North East) (Lab)
The Conservative Government’s dereliction of duty meant that they failed to deliver 20,000 promised prison places, which exposes the hypocrisy in any Conservative claims to be the party of law and order. I welcome the new Government’s 10-year prison capacity statement. Does the Minister agree that publishing an annual statement on prison places will allow transparency, accountability, and affirm that Labour is the party of law and order?
