The move comes as the <strong>Business and Trade Committee<\/strong> labeled previous government responses to rising costs as &quot;inadequate.&quot; Small businesses have faced a &quot;cost crunch&quot; driven by <strong>rising energy standing charges<\/strong> and a projected <strong>52% increase in business rates<\/strong> over the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming plan is expected to focus on <strong>cracking down on late payments<\/strong> and improving access to finance. The government aims to introduce the <strong>toughest late-payment laws in the G7<\/strong>, potentially mandating 60-day payment terms for large firms. <em>Market observers believe these measures are critical to stabilizing the UK high street and preventing a wave of SME closures.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Qatari Mediators Arrive in Iran Amid Regional Tensions<\/h2>\n<p>A high-level delegation from <strong>Qatar<\/strong> arrived in Iran on Friday to facilitate talks following a series of military escalations in the Gulf.
