Written Question
Housing: Rural Areas
Thursday 6th June 2019

Asked by: Scott Mann (Conservative - North Cornwall)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will provide more funding for rural housing in the forthcoming spending review.

Answered by Elizabeth Truss

The Government has taken a number of steps to support rural housing, including through the National Planning Policy Framework where we clarified our approach to rural exception sites to make it clear that local authorities should support opportunities to bring forward sites that will provide affordable housing to meet identified local needs. Decisions on public spending will be made in the round as part of the Spending Review process. HM Treasury will work closely with MHCLG to deliver the government’s housing priorities through this process.

Written Question
Cash Dispensing: Older People
Tuesday 9th April 2019

Asked by: Scott Mann (Conservative - North Cornwall)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect on elderly people of decreased access to hard currency.

Answered by Robert Jenrick

At Spring Statement 2018, the Government held a call for evidence to better understand the role of cash and digital payments in the new economy. We will publish a summary of responses to this document in due course which, along with the recent Access to Cash review, will add to the body of evidence highlighting the continued importance of cash.

The Government recognises the continued importance of cash, especially for more vulnerable members of society and the elderly. The Government will take steps to safeguard access to cash for those who need it, while continuing to support digital payment methods.

The Government-established Payment Systems Regulator is closely monitoring developments within ATM provision. It has used its powers to hold LINK to account over LINK’s commitments to preserve the broad geographic spread of the ATM network in the UK.

Written Question
Debt Collection: Regulation
Wednesday 21st November 2018

Asked by: Scott Mann (Conservative - North Cornwall)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has plans amend the regulation of debt collection agencies.

Answered by John Glen

The Government continually monitors the regulation of sectors to ensure good outcomes for consumers. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation of debt collection agencies (DCAs) provides strong protections for consumers.

DCAs under FCA regulation have to comply with the FCA’s high-level principle to treat customers fairly, as well as offer appropriate forbearance and signpost individuals to free and impartial debt advice should a consumer be in default, or in arrears difficulty.
