Ticket charges: No more 'excessive' card surcharges
Consumers booking a range of items from cinema tickets to hotel rooms now have new protection from card surcharges.
A ban on "excessive" debit and credit card charges begins on Saturday 6 April.
The government said it should put an end to unscrupulous practices by some businesses.
Until now, many people have been asked to pay large surcharges for using cards, especially when booking online.
