HC Deb 08 July 1996 vol 281 c9W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the President of the Board of Trade (1) what representations he has received about factoring companies capping the limit of the amount of money they collected on behalf of their clients; [35627]

(2) what representations he has received about factoring companies refusing to collect debts on behalf of their clients. [35628]

Mr. Page

I am not aware of any representations being made about factoring companies capping the limit of the amount of money they collect, or refusing to collect debts, on behalf of their clients.

If, however, the hon. Gentleman is aware of any specific problems being experienced by small businesses, I will be happy to receive full details from him.
