To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 14 June 2021 to Question 15261 on Mitie: Re-employment, if he will inform Mitie that his policy is that threatening fire and rehire as a negotiating tactic is completely unacceptable; and what steps he plans to take to ensure that other contracting authorities communicate that policy to suppliers.

I refer the Rt. Hon. Member to the answer given to PQ 16831 on 24 June 2021.
