Liz Truss: No ‘Full Estimate’ Of Cost To Taxpayers From Carillion Collapse<\/b>
\nMinisters do not have a \u201cfull estimate\u201d of how much the collapse of construction services company Carillion will cost the taxpayer, Liz Truss has said.<\/p>\n

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury said it would be \u201ccompletely wrong\u201d to speculate on the cost, but said it would be a \u201csignificant amount of money\u201d.<\/p>\n

Do we know how much the collapse of #Carillion will cost taxpayers? @Peston asks Chief Secretary to the Treasury @trussliz#Pestonpic.twitter.com\/GtdYoSkio7\u2014 Peston on Sunday (@pestononsunday) January 21, 2018
\n\u201cAt the moment we don\u2019t have a full estimate \u2013 we heard about the collapse last week, we\u2019ve been working to make sure public services keep going, that\u2019s of course our most important priority,\u201d she told ITV\u2019s Peston On Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of investigatory work to do in terms of what the directors knew and when they knew it, but also making sure that we can move those contracts on, either to organisations within the public sector or to other private sector organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s right that that\u2019s our priority \u2013 making sure things work \u2013 but of course we will be doing a sort of post review of understanding what the total costs are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truss was later challenged on whether she was being \u201ceconomical with the truth\u201d about the cost of the collapse to taxpayers, and said: \u201cThere\u2019s a difference between the cost that the administrator finds and what the impact will be on public spending and public services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m talking about is the cost to the taxpayer which there will be but we don\u2019t know until we find out exactly which bits will be run by other parts of the private sector, which bits will be run by the individual Government department where we can find savings and efficiencies which I am constantly looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was also asked about comments by the head of the CBI, who said remaining in a customs union with Brussels is the best option for British business.<\/p>\n

Truss said: \u201cIt\u2019s very important that we don\u2019t just listen to the big players, we also listen to those who want to enter the market, the new businesses starting up, the exciting new disruptors who might have different ideas about the way of doing things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole point about the customs union is if we remained in the customs union, we can\u2019t run an independent trade policy, we can\u2019t get the best possible deal on a trade deal with America or the Far East where a lot of those new opportunities are emerging from.\u201d
