question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, following their consultation, Creating a responsible payment culture: a call for evidence on tackling late payment, published on 4 October, whether they have any plans to introduce penalty measures on companies who make late payments to small businesses; and if so, what are those measures.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL12202
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government is determined to eliminate the continuing scourge of late payments, and understands how important this is, especially for smaller businesses. The Government has a range of measures in place to tackle late payment. It is now a legal requirement for the UK’s largest businesses to report on their payment practices every six months. We have also created the Small Business Commissioner to address small business complaints about late payment and foster a cultural change to encourage responsible payment practices across the UK economy.</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 the government could go further to tackle the problem. The call for evidence closed on 29 November with nearly 300 responses. It is right and proper that the Government carefully considers the views of respondents before formally responding.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 17/12/2018 15:34:38 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the UK’s withdrawal from the Galileo project on security and defence co-operation with the EU after Brexit.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL12040
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK has made an unconditional commitment to maintain Europe's security, which is why we are seeking a new, ambitious future security partnership with the EU to tackle the common threats we face and safeguard our citizens. The Political Declaration sets out a comprehensive future security partnership, which provides for close, flexible and scalable cooperation that will allow UK and EU efforts to be combined, when it is in our mutual interests. This includes UK participation in EU missions on a case by case basis, consideration of how best the UK and the EU might cooperate on international development, consultation on sanctions, and the voluntary and timely exchange of intelligence. The deal ensures that cooperation can be scaled up in the event of a crisis.</p><p>The UK has made clear that it could only justify continued participation in the Galileo programme on a basis that would enable us to rely on Galileo for our national security. The offer on the table from the European Commission does not meet our stated security or industrial requirements and, on this basis, the Prime Minister has confirmed the UK will not use Galileo for defence or critical national infrastructure after we leave the EU.</p><p>Non-participation in Galileo will not have any immediate impact on UK defence and security capabilities. The encrypted Galileo service is not due to be active until the mid-2020s, and the UK will retain access to US GPS services as it does at present. We are working on options for a national alternative to Galileo to guarantee our satellite positioning, navigation and timing needs are met in the future. The Government has invested £92 million of Brexit readiness money for the design and development of the UK programme.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 13/12/2018 16:19:45 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government values the strong collaborative partnerships that we have across the European Union in the areas of science, research and innovation, and as part of Exit negotiations is working to ensure that we have the best possible environment in which to support clinical trials and new medicines after we leave the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Regarding the EU’s new Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR), the CTR is expected to be implemented during 2020 and would therefore apply to the United Kingdom under the terms of the time-limited implementation period. If the new regulation does not come into force during the implementation period, or in the unlikely event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the Government has confirmed that UK law will remain aligned with parts of the EU’s CTR legislation that are within the UK’s control.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 13/12/2018 15:16:49 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
