Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to ensure that any new contractors taking over Carillion’s public contracts honour existing sub-contracts for work (a) undertaken and (b) yet to take place.

The Official Receiver is conducting an orderly liquidation of the company. Our priority is the continuity of public services. We have plans in place to ensure the continued delivery of all public sector services, and all staff engaged on these public sector service contracts will continue to be paid.
