Greater use of project bank accounts in UK

Cash is king in the construction industry and the UK Cabinet Office recently announced £4bn to flow directly to SMEs through project bank accounts (PBAs) over the next 3 years.

All good stuff of course and would be nice to have a revolutionary approach to payment. Remember that NEC already has in place a Z clause for this, link below, the clause is half way down the useful downloads page

I wonder what if there is an appetite in the UK private sector and public/private sectors in other countries for this? I hope so......
