The education minister only found out school lunch provider Libelle was going into liquidation through media reports, as the associate education minister decided not to tell her.
Written Parliamentary Questions from the Green Party show David Seymour found out there was a possibility of Libelle’s liquidation on 6 March.
Libelle was officially placed into liquidation on 11 March, and it was only then that Erica Stanford found out.
According to the first report by liquidators Deloitte, Libelle exhausted its cash reserves on 6 March, after paying employees’ wages.
