answer text <p>Decisions to open or close a branch or mobile banking service are commercial decisions for firms and the Government does not intervene. However, it is imperative that banks and building societies recognise the needs of all their customers, including those who need to use in-person services. Banks and building societies occupy a privileged position in society and are essential to enabling businesses to manage their money on a day-to-day basis.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance from the FCA sets out its expectation of firms when they are deciding to reduce their physical branches. Firms are expected to carefully consider the impact of planned closures on their customers’ everyday banking and cash access needs, and put in place alternatives, where this is reasonable.</p><p> </p><p>Alternative options to access everyday banking services for small businesses can be via telephone banking, through digital means such as mobile or online banking, and via the Post Office or Banking Hubs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Since 2022, the government has demonstrated its commitment to households by providing one of the largest support packages in Europe. Support for households with the cost-of-living, from 2022-23 to 2023-24, totalled £96 billion – an average of £3400 per UK household.</p><p> </p><p>Real Household Disposable Income (RHDI) per capita has outperformed OBR expectations. RHDI per capita grew by 1.3% in 2023, rather than falling by 3.2% as predicted in the OBR’s March 2023 forecast. This means that, in 2023, RHDI per capita was over £1,200 higher than the OBR expected in their March 2023 forecast, when using 2019 prices.</p><p> </p><p>In the 2024 Spring Budget, the Chancellor announced a further 2 pence cut to the main rates of National Insurance Contributions. This adds to a boost of similar size from the National Insurance Contributions cut announced in the Autumn Statement 2023.</p> more like this
