Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent discussions he has had with other Government Departments on (a) drawing up contingency plans and (b) identifying alternative suppliers to provide the public services previously provided by Carillion.

Our priority is to keep public services running. We have extensive contingency plans and are working hard to minimise any disruption.

We have worked closely across government with all affected departments and stakeholders to develop robust contingency plans that enable us to maintain the continuity and mitigate impacts to public services where possible.
