Enterprise Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Enterprise Bill [Lords].

No, I do not, but I think the hon. and learned Lady should read the Government’s own impact assessment. The provision on the small business commissioner that the Bill proposes is so minor that the Government’s own impact assessment says that they will be able to deal with only 500 cases a year, and yet we know that late payment is a huge issue. I am not saying that the issue of late payments is trivial; I am saying that in dealing with it, the Government’s response is far too limited and very disappointing.
