<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>
