Rejected petition I want to stop any business from refusing cash

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

More details

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.
