Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what were the results of the survey they published in September on extending the scope and powers of the Prompt Payment Code.
We have received over 400 responses to our survey on suggested reforms of the Prompt Payment Code and officials are currently analysing those responses.
We plan to publish the new Code principles before the end of the year but only after the views of those who took the time to respond have been given the consideration they deserve.
