	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2023 answer text <p>Cash and cards can be used on all food, drink and souvenir transactions in catering and souvenir outlets with the exception of two venues in locations away from the main estate and all vending machines, where only card is permitted. The reason for a cashless policy at the two outbuildings is due to security constraints on the transportation of monies between the outbuildings and the main Palace. The cost for monies to be collected outweighed the cash taken. Vending machines are procured as card only for security reasons.</p> answering member constituency Broxbourne answering member printed Sir Charles Walker question first answered 23/11/2023 11:28:37 answering member 1493 label Biography information for Sir Charles Walker
