Right To Statutory Interest On Commercial Debt (EDM912)

Right To Statutory Interest On Commercial Debt

EDM number 912 in 1993-94, proposed by Ken Purchase on 22/03/1994.

That this House welcomes the publication of the consultation paper Late Payment of Commercial Debt, as announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget statement; notes the negative impact which late payment of commercial debt has on the job creation potential of, in particular, smaller businesses; recognises the importance of the small business sector in generating growth in the United Kingdom economy; and believes that the only effective solution to the problem of late payment of business debts is the implementation of a statutory right to interest on overdue commercial debts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 325 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
