Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions the Government has had with Kier on the effect of job redundancies at Kier on delivery of public services by that company.

We continue to monitor the financial health of all of our strategic suppliers, including Kier. We remain in close communication with Kier’s management and will continue to discuss their proposed strategy. 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.
