Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent discussions his Department has had with Kier on the financial situation of that company.

We remain in close communication with Kier’s management and will continue to discuss their proposed strategy. We continue to monitor the financial health of all of our strategic suppliers, including Kier. Kier has a large number of contracts across the private and public sector and we are confident they can continue to deliver quality public services.
