On 13 December 2006, John McFall MP (Lab/Co-op, West Dunbartonshire) chair of the parliamentary working group on ATMs, announced an agreement which includes banks, cash machine operators and HM Treasury, to provide over 600 new non-charging cash machines in Britain's lower-income areas.
The ATM working group has also agreed that a strict set of rules will apply to those ATMs which continue to impose a user charge to make it absolutely clear in prominently-placed, large-type signage above and on the screen of each machine that a charge will be applied when withdrawing cash.
