Gs4 Security
Today G4S has said it will meet the
full cost of deploying thousands of extra troops to the London Olympics
after it failed to supply sufficient numbers of security guards.However
Mr Buckles said that the bulk of the loss would come from paying the
Ministry of Defence to supply 3,500 additional troops to make up the
shortfall.'We accept
that we underestimated the task of supplying staff for the Olympics.We
deeply regret that,'Mr Buckles told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.Despite
having signed the initial contract in 2010,Mr Buckles said that he had
only realised 'eight or nine days ago' that there would be a shortfall
in the numbers.'We are
recruiting a large number of people,they are all working through a
process of interview,two or three different degrees of training,
licensing,accreditation,'he said.'Our review process was around the
number of people applying for interviews,we had 100,000 of those,the
number of people interviewed which was 50,000.
