Afraid Lyn that I doubt it. the government is so entrenched in it that they feel they must keep going. Its a bit like Carillion itself just trying to keep on going.

You know there are many but you still don't know how to spell Carillon.

My mistake I was going by the company name

When it comes to the money men Lyn, nobody gives a toss about anyone or anything else

Carillion own an awful lot of limited companies.
I never trust anyone with more than one.

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/search?q=carillion&page=1

To make matters worse, the people who incorporated the company in 1999, like Sir Neville Simms and Euan McEwan already had dozens of directorships to their names.
Tarmac and its variants features quite high in the lists of their directorships.

Two non private addresses most of the directors hide behind are
84 Salop Street, Wolverhampton, WV3 0SR and 24 Birch Street, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, WV1 4HY.

These are the sort of people I can't trust.

If things were as they should be it would be impossible for a person or a limited company to own a limited company. Then, hopefully (though the macinations of crooked lawyers might try to attempt otherwise) , If a company went belly up after having its blood sucked out by bacteria of the species Greenus, Murdochus or the like, it would be impossible for some small part to be packed with debts and dropped , leaving the parent living in a land of milk and honey

Thank goodness the shareholders and bosses didn't lose out along the way to self destruction.

Surely it must be right for the crooks, sorry entrepreneurs, who support the conservative party leaders to keep their coffers full

Of course someone must be left to manage the pension funds
