Michael Fabricant: To ask the Solicitor-General what the average length of time was between the date of invoices issued to her
Department from a supplier and payment by the Department of the invoice in the last 12 months for which figures are available; what
percentage of these invoices were paid within 30 days of the date of issue of the invoice; what percentage of these invoices
remained unpaid after 90 days; and if she will make a statement on the Department's policy on the payment of invoices issued to it.
[200626]
The Solicitor-General: During the period 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004, the Law Officers' Departments paid supplier
invoices, on average, as shown in the table. The table also shows, for the same period, the percentage of undisputed invoices which
the Departments each paid within 30 days and the percentage which remained unpaid after 90 days, where these figures are available.
Where these figures are not held centrally, data could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
The Government are committed to improving the payment culture in the United Kingdom in order to create a fair and stable environment
for business transactions. The Law Officers' Departments support this policy and are committed to paying all invoices in accordance
with agreed contractual conditions or, where no such conditions exist and the invoice is not in dispute, within thirty days of
receipt of the goods or services or presentation of a valid invoice.

Prosecution Service include payments for the services of lawyer agents in the magistrates' courts and external advocates in the
Crown Court; they do not include payment of claims for travel and subsistence costs for Witness attendance at court. 3 figures refer
to undisputed invoices

glass. Separate records of the source of these products are not kept.
