Therefore we have invited representatives from PwC in their capacity as special managers on behalf of the Official Receiver to two meetings chaired by my rt. hon. Friend; the first, a meeting with the major trade associations and construction trade associations on 17 January and the second on 22 January to the second meeting of the Carillion Task Force comprising trade associations, TUC and other interested parties.

uin	123873
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The nature of Carillion business means that it sub-contracts significant proportions of its work, with the potential for those sub-contractors to sub-contract out further elements. The complexity of the contracting structure is such that it is not possible for Government at this stage in the liquidation process to have a complete picture of the number of SMEs affected.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 24/01/2018 16:39:35 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths
