Is interest paid in full when closing a savings account?

A bit of a stupid question I know: but if I close an account with Abbey [instant access saver] which pays interest annually - is the interest due up to the date of closure, paid to me there and then?

    Calculated daily and included in closure amount.

    Most banks also pay interest for the day of closure too.
