Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the effect of Carillion’s entering liquidation on the operation of CarillionAmey; and what contingencies his Department has in place to take account of those effects.

CarillionAmey is an independent legal entity providing catering, cleaning and maintenance services to Service personnel and their families as an Incorporated Joint Venture (JV). Contractually the partners are required to deliver the requirements of the JV if one of the partners fails. The Department is working with the relevant JV partners to ensure that they continue to deliver the required services.

Carillion entering liquidation has no direct impact on the services provided directly to Service personnel, their families and the continuing work of Ministry of Defence.
