<p>The Government is committed to eliminating the scourge of late payments and bring
about cultural change to deliver responsible payment practices. Large UK businesses
must report on their payment practices every six months and we have created the Small
Business Commissioner to address late payment complaints.</p><p> </p><p>In October,
BEIS launched a public Call for Evidence to understand the impact of late payment
on SMEs and to seek views on how we can go further to tackle the problem. The call
for evidence closed on 29 November with nearly 300 responses. We are currently analysing
those responses and will publish a response in due course.</p>
