<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to implementing a prompt payment policy
throughout the supply chain. We place a contractual obligation on our prime contractors
to pay their subcontractors within 30 days.</p><p>As with all contractual issues,
in relation to direct contracts between the MOD and its suppliers, we would investigate
any breaches to contract conditions on a case-by-case basis. While there is currently
no established method of monitoring prompt payment outside of our direct contracts,
we are working to update MOD contractual conditions to strengthen the prompt payment
obligation throughout the supply chain.</p>
