I move amendment No. 55:


In page 81, between lines 39 and 40, to insert the following:"(a) specify that payments for grocery goods supplied to relevant grocery goods undertakings to be made within 30 days,".
We have all heard from suppliers who do not get paid for upwards of 60 or indeed 90 days in the supply chain, and there is evidence of this. This amendment seeks to give them the protection of being paid within 30 days, which is a basic right for everybody who submits an invoice.
