Mr. Flynn

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made in his policy of improving the prompt payment of bills by Government contractors to their sub-contractors.

Mr. Nelson

All Government Departments have confirmed that they have introduced a clause in their contracts for goods and services which requires the supplier or contractor to pay its suppliers or subcontractors promptly.
