Rbs Closures

EDM number 667 in 2017-19, proposed by Chris Law on 07/12/2017.
Categorised under the topics of Consumers, Financial institutions and Financial services.

That this House urges the Royal Bank of Scotland to reconsider plans to close its Stobswell branch, after announcing that the bank plans a series of closures across the UK; notes that this is very disappointing news for both customers and particularly for staff who will now be worried about their future so close to Christmas; further notes that local banking services are vital to communities in Dundee, and as many people are still dependent on high street services, this is a lifeline service for some; and notes that it is extremely important that the banks listen to the needs of customers in Stobswell and communities across the UK and recognise that there is a continued need for face-to-face provision as well as cash withdrawal and deposit machines.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
