Small Businesses And Cash Transactions

EDM number 681 in 2007-08, proposed by Gordon Banks on 14/01/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Small businesses.

That this House notes the vital contribution that small businesses make to the UK economy; further notes that those in sectors dealing with the sale of goods to the general public, which inevitably use cash as a payment method, suffer from excessive charges levied by banks in the provision of cash and change; and calls upon the banking industry to reduce the cost of this vital service to small business and in doing so to allow a greater level of economic security for the UK's small business sector.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
