Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2026

Debate

Commercial Payments Bill [HL]

Contribution

Regarding Amendment 33, the Government do not consider the proposed statutory review necessary. The amendment specifically asks about the interaction between an insolvency moratorium and the Small Business Commissioner’s adjudication scheme. That scheme does not displace an insolvency moratorium or determine the status or priority of claims. Its operations must remain subject to applicable insolvency restrictions, including restrictions on recovery and enforcement. We therefore do not consider that a separate statutory review of this is required.
