I understand that Caithness Stone Industries Ltd have not yet been paid in connection with the MSP building cladding contract. The Convener of the Holyrood Progress Group has confirmed that this is due to the financial difficulties of the contractor, Flour City Architectural Metals (UK) Ltd, who have now gone into receivership. The matter is now in the hands of the official receiver.
