ANSWERS BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Airbus Group: Job Security Justin Madders: [157779] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the article entitled Airbus jobs are secure, says BAE, published by the Daily Telegraph on 8 April 2006, whether his Department holds information on what the legal protections referred to in that article are. Richard Harrington: We remain closely engaged with Airbus on a range of activities to ensure that the UK’s public interests are properly protected. Given the commercially sensitive nature of the discussions, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the details of any legal protections agreed. Beer: Carbon Dioxide Gill Furniss: [158792] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to ensure that the brewing industry has an adequate supply of CO2 to service (a) pubs and (b) retail outlets with (i) beer and (ii) cider in the next three months. Andrew Griffiths: [Holding answer 3 July 2018]: The Government recognises the importance of the industrial gases sector, which underpins a number of sectors including food and drink. We understand the concerns of the food and drink sector due to the international carbon dioxide (CO2) shortage. I have spoken with UK producers and suppliers on a regular basis highlighting the need to restore supplies as quickly as possible and encouraged them to raise with the Government any issues where we may be able to help overcome any obstacles. We have been assured CO2 producers are working as fast as they can to get the remaining UK plant producing again, CO2 distribution from previously disrupted plants is already reaching the supply chain and the overall CO2 supply has increased this week. Any residual disruption should be resolved in the coming days as the sector returns to business as usual. I have had discussions with pub and retail outlets about the situation and their concerns. BEIS and DEFRA officials have also been in regular contact with food and drink industry stakeholders via DEFRA’s long-established Food Chain Emergency Liaison Group and other interested stakeholders, including alcoholic drink, pub and retailer trade associations. Carillion: Contracts Jon Trickett: [158694] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of sub-contractors who worked directly for Carillion that have been declared bankrupt in the last six months. Andrew Griffiths: [Holding answer 3 July 2018]: Government does not have a record of the number of sub-contractors who worked directly for Carillion that have been declared bankrupt in the last six months. We established a Government Taskforce with representatives from the construction sector, small business, trade unions and the banks to look at how best to mitigate the impact of Carillion’s insolvency. This has enabled the production of targeted advice to Carillion employees, suppliers
