South Devon MP Caroline Voaden continues to push for a banking hub in Totnes, questioning a Treasury Minister in Parliament on Tuesday, 4 November.
Ms Voaden asked if new regulation is needed to help rural areas retain face-to-face banking services, noting that while the Financial Conduct Authority protects access to cash, there is no government body overseeing access to face-to-face banking services.
Ms Voaden mentioned that Lloyds Banking Group will prevent customers from cashing cheques at Post Offices from January next year.
