Stephen Flynn MP has given the bill his backing.
A north-east MP has backed a bill which would require banks to continue providing an in-person service for customers even if they close their branches.
The Banking Services (Post Offices) Bill, which was introduced to Parliament by Conservative MP Duncan Baker earlier this year, would mandate high street banks to continue providing a service to their customers through the Post Office network.
It follows the closure of 17 TSB branches in the north-east, prompting concerns over the impact on the ability of elderly customers and those in rural areas to continue to access banks.
