question text	Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to prohibit credit card companies from placing pressure on shops to refuse to accept cash payments; and if not, why not.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL1043
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2017 answer text <p>Cash continues to play a key role in the UK economy, making up around half of all payments. The Government remains committed to widespread free access to cash and consumer choice in payments. The Government would not be able to prohibit credit card companies from placing pressure on shops to refuse to accept cash payments as this is a commercial decision. However, given the continued importance of cash we would not expect credit card companies to do so.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 01/08/2017 10:58:57 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
