answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>There has been no consistent requirement regarding the financial status of companies for Tokyo 2020 contracts. It has been on a tender-by-tender basis.

Procurement opportunities, outside of infrastructure, will accelerate after Tokyo 2020. We will then have more of an understanding around what guarantees of financial stability are required.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 18/06/2019 09:08:48 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
