Carillion
The Telegraph and The Times report on Carillion's service delivery. The Times notes that improvements were made but problems remain.
An MOD spokesperson said:
Carillion's insolvency announcement has no direct impact on defence or the services provided to the Armed Forces and their families. Housing will continue to be serviced, catering facilities provided and buildings and offices cleaned.
We take very seriously the quality of the accommodation provided for our Armed Forces and their families, including spending £49M on improvements.
