Written Question
Job Retention Bonus
Monday 9th November 2020

Asked by: Ben Bradley (Conservative - Mansfield)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether businesses that are closed as a result of Tier 3 local covid-19 alert level restrictions will be eligible for the Job Retention Bonus in January 2021.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Chancellor has always been clear that the Government would keep the situation under review, adapting its approach as the context evolved. The purpose of the Job Retention Bonus (JRB) was to encourage employers to keep previously furloughed staff in work until the end of January. However, as the CJRS is being extended to the end of March 2021, the policy intent of the JRB falls away. As such, the JRB will not be paid in February. The Government will instead redeploy a retention incentive at the right time.

Written Question
Free Zones: East Midlands
Friday 3rd July 2020

Asked by: Ben Bradley (Conservative - Mansfield)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions his Department has had with the Local Enterprise Partnership for Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire on the potential for an East Midlands Freeport based around East Midlands Airport.

Answered by Steve Barclay

As part of the consultation process, the Government has been engaging widely with ports, businesses and local communities – including events attended by the LEP for Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire - to hear stakeholders’ views on our Freeports proposals. The Freeport consultation is currently open, and I would encourage anyone with an interest in Freeports to submit a response through the gov.uk portal before it closes on 13 July.
