THE government is showing increasing enthusiasm for one of its main privatisation contractors, the Mitie Group.
It probably helps that it has a Tory Lord, Baroness Couttie, as a director. Baroness Couttie, also known as Philippa Roe, is currently a Tory whip in the Lords and was a long-running Tory leader of Westminster Council.
Mitie’s government business is growing and the company has won many contracts running Covid-19 testing services. It is also picking up criticism from inspectors.
