R *S5M-03552 Jackson Carlaw: Proposed Closure of the Clydesdale Bank, Giffnock That the — Parliament notes Clydesdale Bank's proposed closure of its Giffnock branch in Eastwood; calls on the Clydesdale Bank to provide evidence that it has complied with the British Banking Association's Access to Banking Protocol; understands that the protocol requires three distinct phases, a pre-closure assessment, a community engagement and an impact assessment, which is published prior to any closure; believes that it is not clear how this protocol is being adhered to in relation to the proposed closure of the Giffnock branch; calls on the Clydesdale Bank to provide evidence as to how any closure would benefit customers rather than Clydesdale Bank itself; considers that many people do the majority of their banking online and that certain services will be accessible in local Post Offices if closure is implemented, but believes, ultimately, that the closure of the Giffnock branch has not been proven to date to be in the interests of Eastwood customers.
