answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>​No. The contract was awarded after Interserve had secured refinancing in April 2018, which had increased their financial stability and with the full agreement of Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. Any changes to staffing on the contract delivered to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are a result of the change to the proposed service delivery model and are not a result of Interserve's financial position.</p><p>Interserve announced on 27 February that its lenders, bonding providers and Pension Trusteee have agreed to its proposed deleveraging plan, a significant milestone in the delivery of their refinancing.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 04/03/2019 16:09:18 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
