HC Deb 24 November 1993 vol 233 c94W
Mrs. Roche

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many representations have been received by his Department urging him to legislate for the payment of bills by fixed dates.

Mr. McLoughlin

This information is not available. Representations have been received from individual small businesses and from other interested organisations seeking action to reduce the incidence of late payment, including legislation for a statutory maximum credit period, a statutory right to interest on overdue commercial debt or a combination of these.
