Lenders have received 36,000 completed applications.</p><p> </p><p>The British Business Bank has streamlined the system by which the biggest accredited CBILS lenders provide information to the Bank, in order to expedite the process. The Bank’s system therefore gathers data from these lenders when loans are offered and drawn. The system does not capture any information on rejected applications.</p><p> </p><p>At this time we cannot provide a breakdown of funding by region, as we have given lenders a temporary dispensation from uploading their data to the British Business Bank’s system in order to let them focus on issuing new loans. This is a pragmatic step that reflects the urgency of getting loans issued. We are working with the British Business Bank, HM Treasury and lenders on regular and transparent data publication going forward.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 27/04/2020 10:39:54 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
