Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to help increase access to high street banking services in Beckenham and Penge constituency.

The Government understands the importance of face-to-face banking to communities and high streets in Beckenham and Penge, and across the UK, and is committed to championing sufficient access for all as a priority. This is why the Government is working closely with banks to roll out 350 banking hubs by the end of this Parliament. These will provide individuals and businesses up and down the country with critical cash and banking services. Over 100 banking hubs are already open.
