Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:49 pm on 7 February 2017.
Yes, and I deplored the decision taken by HMRC in Porthmadog and other locations, including my own town some years ago. In the same way, certainly, I’m concerned about the withdrawal of commercial banks from many of our communities, and the need to ensure that, for example, the post office is then able to offer up the same kinds of services that the bank does. That depends, of course, on the post offices being there as well, which is why, of course, we had the post office development fund in place that helped so many communities to keep that service.
