G4S grilling 'may discourage firms'

The parliamentary grilling received by the chief executive of G4S after its Olympics security shambles was in danger of discouraging businesses to come to the UK, it was claimed today.

Nick Buckles was hauled before the home affairs select committee where he was given a dressing down by MPs after the firm failed to deliver the full 10,400 members of staff to guard Olympic venues, meaning extra military personnel had to be called in to plug the gap.
