There is no better time for you - a UK voter - to influence the future of cash in your country.
With over 400 MPs, Labour Government is in a position to deliver a Payment Choice Act for the British public. We - the supporters of Payment Choice - simply have to persuade them to do so!
The great news is that a survey carried out by YouGov, acting on behalf of the Payment Choice Alliance, found that over 70% of Labour MPs support legislation to oblige British businesses to accept the British publics cash.
If you have a Labour MP - and even if you have contacted that MP before about cash issues - please email them again.
EVERY EMAIL HELPS!
And if you do NOT have a Labour MP, write to your own MP of ANY party, urging that MP to ask questions of the Government as to why they have not introduced Payment Choice legislation!
You may well know the name of your local MP.
Even if you don’t, you can find out their name and contact details by using this link. You could write a letter or send an email.
An email is obviously quicker and less expensive, but a letter can still be a powerful way of communication.
Below is a draft of an email or letter you could send - but your own words expressing YOUR feelings are better, so, of course, please change the draft as you choose!
PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS NOW!
Jersey has voted to give their British citizens the legal right to have their cash accepted! Please tell YOUR MP this in your email/letter - and demand the same right for YOURSELF!
Dear (MPs first name)
I hope you are well.
As my MP, I know you will be very interested in what matters to me.
I am writing to you about my serious concerns in relation to cash acceptance in Britain.
LINK ATM Scheme have just reported - in March 2026 - that 14% of UK businesses have imposed the awful “cashless” in the last 12 months alone.
This is a disgraceful curtailment of the right of British citizens in the UK to exercise Payment Choice.
This would be unacceptable in any circumstances- BUT particularly so because, on 27 March 2026, the Jersey Parliament voted that businesses on the island MuST accept cash.
So the British citizens of Jersey will enjoy legally guaranteed Payment Choice - BUT not ME, a British citizen living in the UK!
Survey after survey has shown the British public WANT to continue to have the option to use cash - BUT the Government quite disgracefully refuses to acknowledge our wishes!
Personally, I am very tired of being treated as a 2nd Class Citizen, not seemingly entitled the same legal right to use my cash as those living in near neighbours France and Spain - and now even Jersey!
Please confirm by return that you support compulsory acceptance of cash yourself and that you will press the Government to bring in appropriate legislation NOW. IN 2026.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
