Asked by: Chris Green (Conservative - Bolton West)

Written Question
Bowling: Coronavirus
Thursday 10th December 2020

Asked by: Chris Green (Conservative - Bolton West)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the financial support required by bowling centres due to covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

Answered by Kemi Badenoch - Leader of HM Official Opposition

The Government recognises the extreme disruption the actions to combat Covid-19 are having on sectors like the leisure and entertainment industry.

That is why the Government has put in place an economic package of support which will provide businesses and individuals with certainty over the Winter months, even as measures to prevent further spread of the virus change. This includes the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and government-backed loan schemes. The Treasury has further provided funding to local authorities, to support both open and closed businesses through the Local Restrictions Support Grants and the Additional Restrictions Grant.

During this difficult time the Treasury is working intensively with employers, delivery partners, government departments like the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and industry groups such as the British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions, in order to understand the long-term effects of Covid-19 across all key areas of the economy.

We will continue to take a flexible approach and keep all impacts and policies under review as we respond to this pandemic.
