Banks: Cheques
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their response to the proposed withdrawal of cheques by the banks.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Payments Council has made a clear statement that cheque facilities will continue to be available until the alternatives that are put in place, including a paper-based system, are available, acceptable and widely adopted. Many users continue to rely on cheques, particularly small businesses, charities and the elderly. The Government believe that cheques should not be phased out unless suitable alternatives are in place for all users.
