Writing to the Link network during a debate about a suggested overhaul to the cash machine system, Morgan said any big fall in the number of ATMs would “clearly be of concern”.

-Fraudsters have been posing as police officers in a scam designed to convince victims they are helping with an undercover investigation. UK Finance has reported that victims of the scam are losing large sums of money.
