This goes beyond the Department’s standard payment terms and conditions that requires payment of a correctly submitted supplier invoice within 30 calendar days of receipt. The Department’s achievement over the last three years goes well beyond the aim and in doing so the vast majority of supplier invoices are paid within the standard time period.

The UK is engaging closely with civil society groups in Uganda to consult with them about the most appropriate next steps.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Mark Simmonds question first answered 21/07/2014 10:22:05 answering member 1393 label Biography information for Mark Simmonds
