Moved a Bill to set minimum service standards for the provision of banking and postal services in rural areas. Highlighted that rural communities are facing challenges due to the withdrawal of vital services such as bank branches and post offices, which serve as lifelines and community hubs. Drew Hendry emphasised the importance of these physical outlets beyond financial transactions, stating they connect individuals to social and economic networks. He called for legislation mandating a minimum number of physical branches per population, incentives for banks to maintain services in rural areas, and innovative delivery models like mobile bank branches or post office vans. The MP stressed that the UK Government's inaction has left rural communities marginalized and urged action to ensure inclusive progress.
