Written question asked by Lord McFall of Alcluith (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Sassoon (Conservative) on Wednesday, 6 April 2011.


Banking: Cheques

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the Payments Council on a target date for closing the central processing system for cheques.
Answer

I refer the noble Lord to the reply I gave to Lord Lucas on 8 July 2010 (Official Report, col. WA 67) setting out the Government's position on cheques. Treasury Ministers and officials have discussions with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors as part of the process of policy development and delivery. As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such discussions.
