The leader of the Scottish Conservatives has criticised banks for being “tone deaf” in their approach to maintaining a branch and ATM network across the country.
In a session of the Scottish Affairs Committee yesterday afternoon, Douglas Ross grilled UK Economic Secretary John Glen about plans to ensure more remote communities are not left without adequate access to cash.
He asked about the mechanisms being put in place to ensure the views of local people are listened to and taken seriously, rather than it just being a “tick box exercise”.
