The Growth Plan
"I welcome the focus on putting rocket boosters under Britain’s brilliant technology sector in the Chancellor’s Budget, but internet businesses are open 24/7. This is a deregulating Government. Will the Chancellor look at deregulating Sunday opening hours, so that we can compete on the high street as we can compete …..."Matt Warman - View Speech

Written Question
Thursday 28th February 2019
Asked by:
Matt Warman (Conservative - Boston and Skegness)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions his Department has had with the banking sector on facilitating electronic cashless payments on mobile devices.
Answered by John Glen
The Government supports digital payment methods, including contactless mobile payments, which offer consumers and businesses convenient, tailored, and flexible ways of making purchases. Last year, we published a Call for Evidence on cash and digital payments in the new economy. This sought to, amongst other things, explore how the Government can continue to support digital payments. The Government will respond to the Call for Evidence in due course.
Regarding specific discussions, Treasury Ministers and Officials have meetings with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors as part of the process of policy development and delivery. Details of ministerial and permanent secretary meetings with external organisations on departmental business are published on a quarterly basis and are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-ministers-meetings-hospitality-gifts-and-overseas-travel.

Making Tax Digital
"The Minister knows that I am one of those who would urge him to introduce MTD faster, because the benefits so clearly outweigh the disadvantages. We should no more seek to limit the number of software providers in this country than we should seek to limit the number of accountants. …..."Matt Warman - View Speech

That this House has considered cashless transactions.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship in a debate that is already better attended than I had suspected it might be, Mr Gray. It used to be said that cash is king, but in reality that …..."Matt Warman - View Speech

Cashless Transactions
"I completely agree. Much of this is about trust. It is true, as I said, that 46% of people do not trust a cashless society, whether that involves crypto-currencies—although I suspect most of those 46% are not wholly familiar with every detail of that—or simply contactless cards. Part of this …..."Matt Warman - View Speech

Cashless Transactions
"I agree. In a sense, I make the same point that I made before, which is that currently there are a large number of exceptions and it would actually be in the interests of the many seasonal, low-paid and often zero-hours contract workers in my constituency to be paid digitally, …..."Matt Warman - View Speech
