Saving Gateway Accounts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.
We want there to be as many providers as possible. We want the widest possible geographical network. I do not want the amendment to be used to restrict provision to a single provider, such as the Post Office, or to exclude such bodies as credit unions, because this is part of the market that they exist to serve. If, for instance, a bank or building society decided to offer saving gateway accounts in only half its branches, I am not sure that either the hon. Gentleman or I would find that particularly acceptable. The condition can be used in different ways to maximise the inclusiveness of the product.
