Bank Closures: Rural Areas | Commons debates Let me make a little progress and I will give way first to my hon. Friend and then to the hon. Gentleman.
Bank Closures: Rural Areas | Commons debates I give way to the hon. Member for North Northumberland, which really is a rural area.

Bank Closures: Rural Areas | Commons debates I agree entirely with my hon. Friend who represents Surrey and part of Hampshire.
Bank Closures: Rural Areas | Commons debates The hon. Gentleman makes an interesting point. I think the trend has been pretty clear, and the goalposts have moved.
