Edition 8 - The Treasury Committee Announces an Inquiry into Acceptance of Cash

The Treasury Committee Announces an Inquiry into Acceptance of Cash

We Need YOUR Help!

The Treasury Committee is the most important backbench committee in the UK Parliament - and that committee is now inquiring into acceptance of cash!

This is a wonderful opportunity - BUT we MUST act quickly!

All evidence to the Treasury Committee has to be submitted by 2 December 2024. The Payment Choice Alliance is asking ALL supporters to send our Chair Ron Delnevo - by close of play on 12th November latest - a note on what the problems in their community with cash acceptance, naming companies/organisations refusing cash where possible. Ron’s email address is ron.delnevo@paymentchoicealliance.org. In responding, please confirm if one of the members of the Treasury Committee happens to be your MP.

Here is the list of MPs on the committee:-

Dame Meg Hillier MP
Labour
Hackney South and Shoreditch

Rachel Blake MP

Cities of London & Westminster

Bobby Dean MP
Liberal Democrat
Carshalton & Wallington

Dame Siobhain McDonagh MP

PLEASE HELP!

The outcome of this inquiry could be a request by the Treasury Committee that the government takes legal measures to guarantee the British public - ALL OF US - can use our cash when we choose to do so. Which is, of course, exactly what everyone who supports the Payment Choice Alliance WANTS! Remember to please respond to Ron by 12 November 2024 at the LATEST.

THANK YOU.

About Us

The Payment Choice Alliance, founded in 2014 and relaunched in 2023, is a campaigning organisation committed to ensuring the right of the British public to use cash is safeguarded by the passing of a Payment Choice Act.

The Act would give everyone in the UK the right to use their cash, when and where they choose.

The Payment Choice Alliance, which is run by committed volunteers, is also focused on ensuring every community in the UK has convenient cash withdrawal and deposit facilities. The provision of such facilities, along with the legal obligation of businesses to accept cash, will ensure cash remains a viable Payment Choice for the British public for as long as they want to use it.
