Currency Charges

EDM number 567 in 2016-17, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 18/10/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Consumers and Financial services.

That this House notes recent reports of significant overcharging at money exchanges and bureaux de changes, particularly at airports where it appears that some companies, taking advantage of current currency fluctuations, are charging rates of between 15 and 25 per cent more than market rates for pound to euro exchanges; condemns such practices; and calls for the publication of the names of the firms engaged in such activities in order that the public can avoid, where possible, doing business with them.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
