with greg clark as well, the business secretary. it's not clear what was being discussed.t was being discussed. whetherjeremy hunt said i want to take on social care, and that was the arrangement he came to with the prominence. clearly the argument has been for quite a few yea rs argument has been for quite a few years now that you cannot have the health service operating independently from how social care is dealt with and run. that breach between the two has been the reason why we had so many problems, actually in both sectors. yes, absolutely. if you have a medically fit patient ready to leave a hospital, but they can't go back home, because there are problems with finding a social care package oi’ with finding a social care package orfinding a place in a care home, then they remain in the hospitals and that has been one of the major problems causing the pressure we have seen in recent years. if beds are occupied, it's harder to get new patients into them. obviously social ca re goes patients into them. obviously social care goes beyond care of the elderly. there is adu

greg clark has very quickly ordered a fast track investigation into the conduct of the directors, ande wa nted conduct of the directors, and he wanted extended to pass directors, not just current directors, wanted extended to pass directors, notjust current directors, because clearly we need to identify what went wrong, what happened, how directors were behaving. the company kept increasing its dividends even though the business was not doing well enough. it also had a big pension deficit which it was not taken carol. —— it was not taking ca re taken carol. —— it was not taking care of. it does not look good and we need to get to the bottom of what happened. we have not learned any lessons from the 2008 crash. the same thing with the banks. let's see what they find. moving on to the telegraph, the main story that a coroner has urged the crown prosecution service to reopen the case of the death of poppy worthington, the 13—month—old toddler who died of this fixation about four years ago. and it could well be that we see a reopening of that case, but at the bottom of that, boris. he rec

we're hearing greg clark might be moved.big posts, the home secretary, the big posts, the home secretary, the chancellor, borisjohnson and david davis, we understand they will probably stay in their positions. one of the things theresa may has been encouraged to do is to promote some of the newer mps and some of the rising talent. they want to get people into some kind of ministerial roles. want to look out for i think is what happens withjeremy hunt. there is a lot of speculation because damian green has left and he was effectively deputy, perhaps jeremy hunt or chris grayling might fill that post. but of coursejeremy hunt is in the midst of the nhs winter crisis. so it might be a difficult move to justify. labour have already been making their views known. they are saying that if jeremy hunt were to be promoted, that would be sending out the wrong message. we have not had a winter crisis in the nhs on this level for years. it is because of the cuts and the lack of management. theresa may makes an apology but actually chang

greg clark could potentially be moved.ms of the names of people potentially staying, we understand philip hammond will probably stay. a lot of brexit ears feel he has not been positive enough about the brexit project. amber rudd, borisjohnson and david davis will probably stay. there had been speculation before christmas that perhaps david davis would be moved elsewhere, but what message would that send to europe? we expect there will be some movement in terms of the new intake, so people who became mps in 2015, perhaps some of those will move up. we know the prime minister has had a lot of pressure from others and her tea m lot of pressure from others and her team who say that the need to promote some new talent. and also the idea that perhaps she could get more women in and people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. soul mix of potential movement. at the moment, speculation, so we're not sure. sun attempt to freshen up the government, but at the same time she has to maintain this brexit balance. that's the key th

labour's 0wen smith believes the prime minister should take action if greg clark can't explain himself have misled the house at that juncture and i think theresa may will need to address that so, how does the minister explain himself? i'm off to find out. why did you say that you had submitted evidence to the trade commission when you hadn't? the question in the house of commons was whether the itc — that's the trade commission — had received evidence. that was submitted to the itc, i think in may, by whom? that was submitted by bombardier during the periods that it was required to be. but the question to you was what had the government submitted to the itc and you said that on submission the evidence had been provided to the itc. why would your shadow minister question you as to what bombardier had submitted? they were surely asking you what the government had submitted and you said that evidence has indeed been provided, is that not misleading? no. it was completely right. it had been provided through all of this. but if the minister doesn't believe he misled parliament. does he beli

last night, business secretary greg clark met with representatives from businesses and trade unions tot jonty bloom joins us now. good to see you. what does happen next then? we have some details from the meeting. we know representatives from the construction industry are desperately trying to take over apprenticeships carillion was running, training young people up in the industry. there is a skill shortage in the uk in that sector. we also know the tax collector, reve nu es we also know the tax collector, revenues and customs, it will basically allow customers to defer some of their tax if they have been hit by carillion. we know the banks are putting significant amounts of money aside to be available to companies, subcontractors, for instance, who have a shortage of cash at the moment. how supportive can the government task force be seen can the government task force be seen to be, because it's a private company but with lots of public sector contracts. yes, and those contracts tend to be continuing. government and local government have provided the money to keep employing people. s

the business secretary, greg clark, has denied suggestions that there was insufficient oversight of the the months leading up to its collapse. he said there had been "substantial" contact between officials and the firm when carillion issued a number of profit warnings. the government has been criticised for awarding contracts to the company despite profit warnings. a task force aimed at supporting small businesses and worker affected by the collapse met for the first time yesterday, in what has been described as a "constructive" meeting. the firm went into liquidation earlier this week, threatening around 20,000 jobs in the uk. the confederation of small businesses said it has no more than a sticking plaster. let's get an update on one of the contract. carillion was the principal contractor for the eastlake carillion was the principal contractor for the eastla ke and bypass, and our corresponded katy austin is therefore is. katy, what's the situation with this contract? give you an idea of where we're standing, this will be the start of the lincoln eastern bypass which is just to the ea

interesting that greg clark talking about fast tracking investigations into whether former directors. the government has guaranteed the pay and jobs of those working in the public sector, there is ambiguity as to what happens to those thousands of employees who are not working in the public sector because their pay is only guaranteed until tomorrow. joining me is the deputy general secretary of the tuc. it really is a pretty uncertain position. i feel for those thousands of korean workers going into work today not knowing what the future holds. —— carillion. ringing together our unions, we want to identify where we have people working, what they have been told, and understand those fears on the ground. it is important the government as a matter of urgency pulls together a national task force involving representatives, people in the supply chain, to get to grips with these issues. the collapse is too important for ministers to deal with behind closed doors. how manyjobs behind closed doors. how many jobs could behind closed doors. how manyjobs could be at risk? carillion had 19,000 em

the business news: the business secretary, greg clark, has asked for an investigation into the directorslude former directors. the company went into liquidation on monday after running up losses on contracts and struggling with heavy debts. average prices in the uk are still rising, up by 3% in december according to the latest inflation data. but it is a slight fall from the six—year high of 3.1% recorded for november. german workers are striking over demands to work a 28—hour week and get a 6% pay rise. germany's biggest trade union has now threatened to call for a 24—hour walkout if talks don't resolve the issue. with unemployment low and the german economy performing strongly, striking workers say they're in a strong position to negotiate. we'll be keeping you across any carillion updates throughout the day, but right now we're going to talk about the pension scheme. in addition to debts approaching £1 billion, the company has an estimated pension deficit of £600 million. carillion operates 13 final salary pension schemes in the uk with around 28,500 members, more than 12,000 of whom

as we touched on earlier, greg clarke, the business secretary, has called for two investigations, oneand the reporting to europe to the profit warning injuly, and also the conduct towards its collapse, including by current and former directors. we are assuming every aspect of this will be probed. corporate governance in the company, including pay and board oversight, and there are various people around politics today promising to have people in front of committees and for them to be pretty fiery. you know, there will always be this lingering question of if the government should be more aware of what was going on along the carillion business. a rival company, into serve, launched a legal challenge in 2014 into the award of a contract by the minute job defence, £4 billion. the contract went to carillion, and the rival said that the bids were abnormally low and could be undeliverable. whitehall insiders will be having lots of concessions about the meanings of this. a lot of them will not be agreeing withjeremy corbyn that it is the end of our outsourcing. didn't think it is the end of ou

men who did not move, jeremy hunt, he stays in health, but it is a bigger departmental name, and greg clarkho will stay at the business department, despite there being a loss of chatter about being kicked out. the prime minister tried but could not reshuffle or swap those to a round. nor could she get the education secretary, justin green, where she wanted. she has gone from cabinets —— justine greening. where she wanted. she has gone from cabinets ——justine greening. the dwp, as it is called, goes to the one—time tv presenter who has worked asa one—time tv presenter who has worked as a junior minister in that department. our political editor nick watt is with me. it seems like a lot of people are resisting the plans theresa may had for them, and unusual number of those affected by that? it has happened in the past that? it has happened in the past that ministers say i do not want to move and there we prime minister case and a strong prime minister says no. she said yes tojeremy hunt, but no to just think many who wa nted hunt, but no to just think many who wanted to remain in education and

greg clarke, the business secretary, who many thought was going to be shifted, hanging on in there inafterjeremy hunt said he did not want to move over to business. he was going to hang on as health secretary. he convinced theresa may to give him the social ca re theresa may to give him the social care belief as well. the difficulty for mrs may is to try and get a better sense of grip on the reshuffle and later in the morning i expect we will see come as they say, a good deal of new and young mps being promoted. the headache for mrs may is the toby young sager has political ramifications because just at the weekend mrs may was standing by to by at the weekend mrs may was standing by toby young when she was interviewed on the andrew marr programme. she said she thought his comments were regrettable but he didn't repeat them and he would be 0k. didn't repeat them and he would be ok. more is coming out of downing street now. i think that is the defence secretary coming out. claire perry, one of the new female business ministers who will be attending cabinet but is not actually a cabinet

business secretary greg clark, patrick maclachlan, the party chairman, and also andrea leadsom, the leaderuse of commons. according to the sunday times, those who are likely to stay in their posts include boris johnson, who are likely to stay in their posts include borisjohnson, philip hammond, amber rudd, david davis, and speculation about a possible promotion forjeremy hunt, the health secretary, or chris grayling, who could step into the job vacated by damian green. our political correspondent susana mendonca is in our london newsroom this morning, what could we expect to happen over the coming days? i suppose at this stage, susanna, it is all speculation? very much so. if you speak to downing street, which we have, they have said it is all guesswork. but we know that there is going to be a reshuffle, said people are going to move about. we understand the cabinet posts will be reshuffled tomorrow, and on tuesday, we will have the more junior roles. what we understand is that theresa may is under lots of pressure to bring up new rising stars, as it were, within the conservative party. sh

we know that more clocks are due to be held between the business secretary greg clark and union leaderse is pressure onjeremy corbyn to score at the score big time. this is a home match forjeremy corbyn and his side will be expecting a of goals because it plays to one who is mean political beliefs, mainly things are better donein beliefs, mainly things are better done in the public sector and there should be no space for big mega private companies running public sectors. that underpins a lot of labour's policies underjeremy corbyn, taking back into public ownership of the railways, the water industry, bits and pieces of the energy market, royal mail. so i think he really has the nail this today. as for theresa may, she is of course under pressure and the government have been on the defensive over this but expect her to flag up the previous labour governments have been in cahoots with carillion as well, around one third of the government contracts carillion got and bear in mind the have a50, around one third were awarded by labour governments. i suspect theresa may will push back and see

representatives from industry will sit on the group, which will be chaired by the business secretary greg clarkd the uncertainty for everyone involved. what the government is doing is, it has set up a group to be able to discuss with trade unions and with industry representatives, to be able to ensure that we get to the bottom of this as soon as we possibly can. the government's spending watchdog says private companies will get almost £200 billion from the public purse over the next 20 years for deals set up under private finance initiatives. pfi schemes allow private companies to build and maintain schools, hospitals and other projects in return for an annual payment. the national audit office says annual charges have reached more than £10 billion. its report was written before the collapse of carillion. the government says it only approves pfi schemes that are value for money. royal watchers queued in cardiff from dawn to see prince harry and his fiancee, meghan markle. the couple did a walkabout at cardiff castle — after arriving an hour late due to train delays. 0ur royal correspondent sara
