Commercial Payments Bill [HL]Contribution
The department will provide further resources, doubling the commissioner’s resource base in 2025-26, to ensure that the office’s delivery capability is ready on day one. We are also considering options for appointing third-party adjudicators to provide further flexibility and capability. These will provide the commissioner with a strong operating base and, together with the ability to recover the costs of adjudications and investigations, ensure we have a funding model that is sustainable and flexible enough to manage demand.
