The Prime Minister
I thank my hon. Friend. Wild horses would not keep me away from North West Durham.
Afzal Khan (Manchester, Gorton) (Lab) [V]
Earlier this month, nearly half the constituents I surveyed reported severe financial insecurity. Shockingly, almost a third also said that they struggled to afford daily living costs. That is the financial reality of millions around the country. One respondent told me that they feel utterly hopeless about their financial situation. The Prime Minister could now deliver some peace of mind for my constituents by agreeing to extend the support schemes that have kept many families afloat during this crisis, including payments for people self-isolating. Will he do so?
The Prime Minister
We will continue to look after people throughout the pandemic.
