uin	129893
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has established the Carillion Taskforce, to advise on the impact on small businesses and employees affected by Carillion insolvency. The Taskforce’s attendees included representatives from leading business bodies, the construction trade sector, unions, banks and government. This has already led to useful collaborations, in particular in relation to ensuring firms and employees have access to support from Government and the banks.</p><p> </p><p>The nature of Carillion’s business was to sub-contract significant proportions of its work and a significant number of those sub-contractors have sub-contracted further elements. The complexity of the contracting structure is such that it is not possible for the Official Receiver at this stage in the liquidation process to have a complete picture of companies and therefore projects affected across the UK. He is continuing to work through Carillion’s systems to identify all contracts. To date, we are not currently aware of any Carillion related redundancies in Hendon.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 12/03/2018 10:56:39 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths

However, the Government will consider any views to the contrary submitted to the consultation.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 05/03/2018 14:27:04 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of guaranteeing funding for UK Projects of Common Interest established under the Connecting Europe Facility for Energy.
tabling member constituency	Belfast North
tabling member printed	Nigel Dodds
uin	129951
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government guarantee to underwrite the payment of Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) energy grant awards is intended to apply where UK project promoters have been accorded ‘Project of Common Interest’ (PCI) status for their projects under provisions in the Trans-European Networks Energy (TEN-E) regulation, have subsequently applied for and been awarded grants under the linked CEF regulation, but where no satisfactory arrangement has been made on exit as to how to manage outstanding awards. This approach mitigates the risk that these projects do not go ahead because of lack of funding. The majority of the projects in receipt of awards so far are joint electricity interconnector projects with other Member States and will contribute significantly to the UK’s future security of electricity supply.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/03/2018 16:18:45 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
