European Parliament: Elections
Tuesday 19th February 2019

Asked by: Emma Reynolds (Labour - Wolverhampton North East)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 2004 as amended by the European Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Regulations 2009 remain in force.

Answered by Chloe Smith

The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“the 2018 Act”) repeals the underlying pieces of legislation providing for the holding of European Parliamentary elections.

As the UK will cease to be a member of the European Union on 29th March 2019, we will not be taking part in future European Parliamentary elections, including those scheduled to be held from 23rd to 26th May 2019.

The European Parliamentary Elections Etc. (Repeal, Revocation, Amendment and Saving Provisions) (United Kingdom and Gibraltar) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 were made on 3rd December 2018 under powers in the 2018 Act. These Regulations make further provision as a result of the UK no longer participating in European Parliamentary elections and come into force on the day that the UK leaves the European Union. The European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 2004, as amended by the European Parliamentary (Amendment) Regulations 2009, will be revoked as a result of the provision made by the 2018 Act and by these Regulations.

Written Question
Government Departments: Contracts
Thursday 1st February 2018

Asked by: Emma Reynolds (Labour - Wolverhampton North East)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the Government's policy is on awarding contracts to companies which have issued profit warnings.

Answered by Oliver Dowden - Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

The Government’s priority is to ensure the continued delivery of public services, and we have contingency plans in place to ensure this happens. We routinely stress-test contracts to ensure that if one party within a contract fails to deliver, the other parties involved will step in to complete the work.

The majority of public procurement is governed by Public Contracts Regulations. These stipulate that public procurers have to award contracts through fair and open competition, in line with principles of equal treatment, transparency and non-discrimination. Suppliers have to meet certain criteria to be able to bid for public contracts, including a minimum level of financial and economic standing proven through turnover, audited accounts or other financial measures.

Given that a large number of companies issue profit warnings from time to time, it is unrealistic to terminate all business with such a company as this would further undermine chances of company recovery

Once Carillion had made the profit warnings, we took steps to ensure that greater degrees of protection were built into the small number of specific contracts that were awarded after July last year.
