Re: Carillion Crisis
Maybe the Government should look into managing more of this projects themselves in the way TFL do. TFL subcontract out the actual physical work but they have much greater control of the projects themselves. The Government obviously shouldn't be directly involved with many of these tasks, hiring builders etc, but they shouldn't be so abstracted from them either.
This is another example of everything being handed off, there being probably decent evidence everyone knew for a while it was failing, but the government get to claim it's nothing to do with them. In the end the companies doing the manual work don't get paid, the staff lose their jobs and the public pick up the bill.
