Bradley is urging residents to share their views on the acceptance of cash as a form of payment.
Although the use of cash has declined over recent years, around 3.1 million people in the UK still rely almost entirely on cash as a form of payment.
The House of Commons Treasury Select Committee is currently holding an inquiry into the acceptance of cash in the economy.
The inquiry is looking into whether there is a need in the UK to regulate or mandate the acceptance of physical cash in the form of notes and coins. The inquiry will consider any need for legislation and/or regulation, and potential costs to consumers and businesses.
To feed into the Committee’s work, Bradley is gathering the views of his constituents which he will submit as evidence to support the inquiry.
Bradley said:
“Whilst it’s true that many of us are using cash less and less, there are still people in Bromsgrove and the Villages who rely entirely on cash as a form of payment.
“I’m therefore very supportive of the Treasury Committee’s inquiry into the acceptance of cash in the economy.
“I would urge residents to complete the survey I’ve launched so they can have their say on this important matter so that their views can be submitted as evidence to support the Committee’s work.”
