Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many creditors had remained unpaid by her Department on 1 June 2014 for (a) 45 days, (b) 60 days, (c) 75 days and (d) 76 days and over.
This question was answered on 1st July 2014
The information requested is shown in the following table:
| Overdue period | Payments owing 0-45 Days | Payments owing 46-60 Days | Payments owing 61-75 Days | Payments owing 76+ Days |
| number of creditors | 357 | 71 | 56 | 360 |
When calculating the unpaid period, the Home Office starts counting from the
date when the invoice was due to be paid.
The above figures refer to all creditors, including those with balances below
£10,000.
Invoices may be overdue for a number of reasons including the department
disputing the amount.
