South Devon MP Caroline Voaden has continued her campaign to secure a banking hub in Totnes, this time questioning a Treasury Minister in Parliament on Tuesday (4 November).
Just days after she called on the Prime Minister to back her campaign, Ms Voaden asked whether new regulation is needed to help rural areas retain face-to-face banking services.
there is no government body overseeing access to face-to-face banking services, meaning these could be lost.
Ms Voaden noted that Lloyds Banking Group will be preventing customers from cashing cheques at Post Offices from January next year.
