Retail Businesses: Financial Support

Debate between Lord Allen of Kensington and Baroness Andrews

Monday 21st September 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord Allen of Kensington]

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to provide financial support to retail businesses which have been categorised as ‘undertakings in difficulty’ under European Union state aid rules, and are unable to access support under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme; and what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of any financial support that they have provided to such businesses.

[Baroness Andrews (Lab) [V]]

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend, and with his permission, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in his name on the Order Paper.
