00:00David Chadwick.

00:01Thank you, Mr Speaker.

00:03Lloyds Bank have over 31,000 customers in my constituency.

00:08And yet many of those customers, particularly the elderly and the vulnerable, are struggling

00:13to get out their own cash.

00:15That's because Lloyds have closed their branches in Bracken, in Pristine, in Ostrugunlice,

00:21and before the end of this month in Pontedower.

00:24That's despite making billions in profits and paying their CEO £5 million.

00:30Will the Prime Minister write to Lloyds Bank and ask them to keep that last branch in Pontedower

00:34open?

00:35Well, I'm grateful to him for raising that, and I'll look at the particular example that

00:39he's raised.

00:41As he will know, we're rolling out hubs, some of them already in place, and more to come,

00:46and I'll happily update him on where they're likely to be.
