Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government which sub-central public bodies associated with the Department of Transport are within scope of Regulation 113 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 requiring contracting authorities to pay undisputed invoices within 30 days and to publish their payment performance online.

The information required to answer this PQ is not held in the format requested.

As a guide, the Department for Transport’s Executive Agencies (the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, and Vehicle Certification Agency) in the main operate under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, whilst arm’s length bodies such as HS2 and Network Rail ordinarily operate under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 whenever they are procuring works, services or supplies contracts.
