Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had with alternative providers on taking over Interserve contracts in schools, in the event that Interserve enters administration.

As Interserve has stated publicly, its business will continue to operate as normal for customers and suppliers. The operating companies of Interserve have not entered administration and will be unaffected. As a result, we have not had discussions with any alternative suppliers.
