I want to stop any business from refusing cash

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

To make it mandatory for all business to have to accept cash payments

We call upon lawmakers in the United Kingdom to make it a legal requirement for all businesses within its borders to accept cash as payment. No one should ever be denied essential goods or services because their method of payment isn't deemed acceptable by individual business owners.

Please sign this petition if you believe in equal rights for all forms of legal tender and want everyone's right to pay with cash protected by law.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: Make it illegal for retail and hospitality businesses to refuse cash as payment

If you would like all businesses to be required to accept cash you could submit a new petition requesting this, but you would need to provide your full name.
