Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish the results of the research commissioned by his Department on the effect of current pricing structures used by foreign exchange providers on consumer value choices.

In its Answer of 18 April 2017 to Question 69488, the Government stated that it was conducting research on the effects of transparency in overseas money transfers (involving foreign exchange), on consumer decisions. This research will help to inform the Government's response to the consultation on draft regulations for the implementation of the Second Payment Services Directive. This response will be published shortly.
