The Government operates at arms' length from the banks and does not become involved in these types of operational matters. I do not have any views on the development or redevelopment of branch offices by the banks mentioned and I do not consider it appropriate to get involved in these matters. I might add that I have already received representations in relation to a redevelopment in the Deputy's constituency and advised the representor accordingly.
