Mr Bowen

For 2004-2005, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of payments made by the Minister’s department to small business were not made within (i) 30 and (ii) 60 days of receipt of the goods or services and a proper invoice in accordance with Government procurement policy.
Mr Howard (Prime Minister)
—The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:
I have been advised that the department does not hold specific information on small business so this answer is provided in relation to all private sector businesses.
(i) For 2004-05, 434 payments, or 5.4% of payments to private sector businesses were not made within 30 days of receipt of the goods and services and a proper invoice in accordance with Government procurement policy by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
(ii) For 2004-05, 64 payments, or 0.8% of payments to private sector businesses were not made within 60 days of receipt of the goods and services and a proper invoice in accordance with Government procurement policy by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
