May 24 2004

Sir Michael Latham, chairman of the new group set up to deal with concerns over late payment in the construction industry, today unveiled a route map to tackle late and non-payment provisions in current legislation.

The review group, set up to improve the delivery of construction projects by increasing the effectiveness of fairer payment provisions in the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act, met for the first time last week. It confirmed its membership and agreed a timetable for action. Its first task is to establish a new working group to deal with the payment provisions. This new group, along with the Construction Umbrella Bodies Adjudication Task Group will report to Sir Michael and the review group in July.

Nigel Griffiths, Construction Minister, congratulated Sir Michael on his work so far and gave his full support to the group's direction. An announcement regarding the appointment of a chair for the new working group is expected shortly.
