Commitment to paying businesses within 10 days |
The government will build on its commitment to pay firms within 10 days by working with NHS trusts in England, local authorities and other public sector employers in England to seek opportunities to extend the payment target.
Secretary of State for Business Peter Mandelson said: “Businesses tell us they need access to cash flow. That's why central government has committed to paying businesses within 10 days - and we're urgently speaking to the wider public sector to extend this commitment. We want everyone in the supply chain to pay their bills more quickly.” |
