answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Jobcentres often provide budgeting support and can also signpost people to locally available support services. Within Universal Credit, the Personal Budgeting Support process provides a conversation with all claimants at their initial Interview to gauge their potential support needs – this could include money advice with a mix of online, telephone and face to face support. Alternative Payment Arrangements can be made for the minority of claimants that may struggle to manage monthly payments initially.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 18/06/2015 16:22:54 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence's invoices are paid through the Defence Business Services organisation with the exception of some payments to suppliers made by units locally. We do not hold separate statistics of invoices settled on behalf of Defence Equipment &amp; Support, however, across the Department, 8,647 invoices (or 0.2% of the total) amounting to circa £170 million were not paid within 30 calendar days during the 2013-14 financial year, of which over 80% were below £10,000 in value. Delays in paying bills are principally caused by the incorrect presentation of invoices.</p><p>We process over four million invoices a year totalling some £26 billion. Over the course of the last full financial year (2013-14), Defence Business Services paid 99.99% of all correctly submitted invoices within 11 calendar days and 95.42% of invoices within five working days.</p><p>We are committed to paying our suppliers promptly. Further, we place a contractual obligation on them to pay their subcontractors within a specified period from receipt of a valid invoice and to disseminate this requirement through their own supply chains.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 17/03/2015 16:23:54 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier previous answer version 44994 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542
