The Official Receiver is appointed by the courts and is independent of Government. My rt. hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and I are therefore keen to facilitate dialogue between the Official Receiver and companies impacted by Carillion’s insolvency. Therefore we have invited representatives from PwC in their capacity as special managers on behalf of the Official Receiver to two meetings chaired by my rt. hon. Friend; the first, a meeting with the major trade associations and construction trade associations on 17 January and the second on 22 January to the second meeting of the Carillion Task Force comprising trade associations, TUC and other interested parties. These meetings have enabled PWC to expand the information on their dedicated website for Carillion suppliers - www.pwc.co.uk/carillion.
