Foreign Exchange

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 17 July 2017 to Question 4713, how he will ensure that the research on the effect of pricing structures on consumer value choices is used to inform policy; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

In my answer of 17 July I stated that Government does not intend to publish the research it conducted earlier in the year on the effects of transparency in overseas money transfers (involving foreign exchange) on consumer decisions as it relates to the formulation and development of ongoing Government policy.

The research helped to inform the Government’s response to its consultation on the implementation of the second Payment Services Directive, which was published on 19 July 2017.
