Beagle,
I do believe that G4S is going to be punished for not meeting its' contractual obligations. Whether this actually occurs we shall have to wait and see.
I agree totally that G4S should lose the £57 Million management fee. After all they did not manage. G4S will still receive payment for the security that they did provide. A rather large payment.
The money recouped/ not paid out to G4S will not be going to the MOD, despite the military incurring costs. Anyone any idea which budget the military costs for providing security will be coming from?
