BIPA has reviewed and responded to two papers that have been issued by The Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and responded to the “Call for Evidence” for the Breedon Report.
BIPA’s evidence to the Non-Bank Lending Task Force has now been utilised by the Breedon Task Force which published its findings, ‘Boosting Financial Options for Business’, on March 16th.
A copy of the report can be downloaded here.
Please refer to Section 8 entitled ‘The Evolving Regulatory Environment’ where in paragraph 8 the Government is considering whether additional data could be made available to support economic growth, for example, availability of the VAT Register would allow basic assessments and cross reference with other data sources on registered businesses.
