Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Crown Commercial Service's Transparency data, CCS prompt payment data 2018-19, whether the aggregated totals figure of 196.88 per cent for the percentage of invoices paid within five days is correct; and if he will make a statement.

The Crown Commercial Service fully complies with all regulatory requirements set out in Section 113(7) of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).

The Crown Commercial Service will remove “aggregated totals” fields from future prompt payment data publications.
