School lunch struggles: Will Libelle's liquidation impact the programme?

Belief from David Seymour that the collapse of a school lunch provider is a non-story. 

The Libelle Group, which is sub-contracted by Compass Group to deliver about 125,000 meals daily, has gone into liquidation.  

The Minister in Charge, Seymour says that won't impact lunch deliveries. 

He's admitted the Government knew Libelle may have been in strife when it signed the deal, but had no reason to believe it would fail. 

Seymour told Mike Hosking the issue is a contractual matter between two companies, neither of which is the Government. 

He says its issue is making sure Compass delivers on its contract to the Government.
