Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department plans to issue guidance on the use of crypto-currencies to the general public.
The Government recognises the significant benefits that digital currencies and the related technology could bring, as well as potential challenges. The Government has not made any formal assessment of the potential effect on the economy of cryptocurrencies, but is monitoring the situation.
The Government has no plans at this time to issue guidance on the use of cryptocurrencies.
