Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many free to use ATMs are located in Wolverhampton North East Constituency; and how many free to use ATMs there were in that constituency in (a) 2010 and (b) 2015.

The Government does not hold this information. Information on ATM numbers by Parliamentary Constituency for recent periods is publicly available on the LINK website. Data on the total stock of ATMs in the UK and how this has changed each year since 1998 – including the split between free-to-use and pay-to-use ATMs – is also available online. Furthermore, LINK publish monthly data on their Financial Inclusion Programme, and the numbers of free-to-use ATMs 1 kilometre or further from the next nearest free-to-use ATM.

The Government-established Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) continues to monitor developments in ATM provision, and has used its powers to hold LINK to account over its commitments to preserve the broad geographic spread of the ATM network.
