Petition Support Economy - Pay every Household £3,000 as part of Quantitative Easing process
More details
In September £75 billion was issued to UK banks by the Bank of England, supposedly to help re-float the economy. It didn't work and very little got through to the SMEs that are the engine room of UK industry. This ePetition is to ask MPs to review a radical but guaranteed method of re-floating many parts of the UK economy, especially the high street.
Simply put, the Government should issue each household with a voucher for £3,000 it can spend anywhere in the UK (on a defined list of items, preferably UK products & services) within a short term; say 30 days. Vouchers would only be issued to those primary households currently paying council tax. Cost, around £75 billion.
