A group of businesses in Bradford and the Aire Valley will provide evidence to a parliamentary committee about late payment of bills.

The move comes as more local companies see customers put off paying for goods and services – often way beyond normal credit terms and sometimes for up to 120 days.

Firms belonging to the Bradford & Airedale Manufacturing Alliance have agreed to provide Bradford East MP David Ward, who sits on the Business, Innovation and Skills select committee, with evidence of late payment.
