answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>In my answer of 5 July I stated that the Government was conducting research on the effects of transparency in overseas money transfers (involving foreign exchange) on consumer decisions. This research helped to inform the Government’s response to the consultation on the implementation of the second Payment Services Directive (PSDII), which was published on 19 July 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s response to the consultation explains that, as the second Payment Services Directive is a maximum harmonising Directive, the Government has limited flexibility as to how far we can go beyond its explicit requirements. Although the Government could see some benefit in requiring firms to display the difference between the exchange rate they offer and the interbank exchange rate, it is clear that including such a requirement in PSDII would be gold-plating, and the Government has therefore decided not to do so.</p><p>The Government does not intend to publish the research at this point in time as it relates to the formulation and development of ongoing Government policy.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 20/07/2017 14:29:01 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
