This question was answered on 20th March 2018

(a) HM Prison and Probation Service:
Over 95% of the former employees of Carillion working in HM Prison & Probation Service have been transferred to Gov Facilities Services Ltd

432 Carillion employees were eligible to transfer to Gov Facility Services Ltd (GFSL) under TUPE arrangements with an additional 455 Carillion employees, who worked on the HMPPS contract, and who were subject to redundancy being offered employment with GFSL. 6 Carillion employees made a decision to resign prior to the date of transfer.
Finally, we understand that 18 Carillion employees, working on the HMPPS contract, were made redundant and not offered employment with GFSL as it was determined that their roles would not be required within the GFSL solution

(b) HM Courts and Tribunals Service:
ISS are the new Facilities provider (re-contracted provider) for Humberside and East Anglia Courts PFI and they will be taking over from Carillion. Once the new contract is signed, it is anticipated that all 24 ex-Carillion staff will move across and become ISS employees
