ISLAY AND BANK OF SCOTLAND

Early day motion 85, tabled 18 November 2009 by Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 49 members.

That this House notes the decision of the Bank of Scotland to remove the post of business relationship manager from its branch on the island of Islay; further notes the strong concern expressed by the island's business community that managers based on the mainland will not have the same understanding of the island's people, businesses and economy as a manager based on the island; and urges the Bank of Scotland to reinstate this post.
