Closed Ban retailers (shops/newsagents/etc) from setting a minimum card spend

Closed on

We want the Government to pass a law banning retailers from setting a minimum card spend. Not everybody carries cash, especially these days, and should not be prevented from making a purchase due to a minimum card spend.

If somebody is walking past a shop and wants to make a purchase we believe it is unacceptable that they should be required by a retailer to spend more than £5 or £10 to make a purchase. Not everybody carries cash now and not everybody has that amount to spend each time they shop. Minimum card spends should not be allowed.
