CASH MACHINE CHARGES

Early day motion 750, tabled 12 October 2005 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 103 members.

That this House condemns the sharp rise in the number of cash machines which charge customers for removing their money; notes that convenience machines placed at locations such as supermarkets, public houses, post offices, factories, amusement parks and service centres charge customers in the region of £2.00 for each transaction, with the number of machines charging rising each year; further notes that overall this is costing an estimated £125 million a year, hitting those on low incomes hardest; and calls on the firms operating the machines to remove these charges.
