A number of issues were identified which called into question the accuracy of payment performance data, so the Department suspended prompt payment reporting until assured data was available. This has now been achieved, and we plan to publish the outstanding data shortly.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 06/11/2018 14:37:04 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
