HC Deb 01 May 1996 vol 276 c548W
Mrs. Roche

To ask the President of the Board of Trade on what date he plans to publish figures showing the percentage of bills paid promptly by Government Departments in 1995–96. [27510]

Mr. Page

Government Departments and their agencies are required to monitor their payment performance and publish the results in their annual or departmental reports. In addition, my Department is producing a table of results of all Departments and their agencies for 1995–96. This will be available, in line with previous years, before the summer recess.
