Additional Restrictions Grant and Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant: Shropshire
Wednesday 2nd March 2022

Asked by: Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat - North Shropshire)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much funding his Department allocated to Shropshire Council under the Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant; and how much funding his Department allocated to that council under the Additional Restrictions Grant for businesses that were impacted by Omicron but not covered by that scheme.

Answered by Paul Scully

Since the start of the pandemic, the Government has delivered an unprecedented package of support for businesses. Nearly £27 billion has been allocated to Business Support Grants in England, including over £700 million announced in December for businesses most impacted by the Omicron variant.

The Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant (OHLG) scheme supports businesses in the hospitality, leisure and accommodation sectors. The third top-up to the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) discretionary scheme provides support for other businesses. Shropshire Council has been allocated £5,856,507 in OHLG funding, and £667,495 in further ARG funding. This brings the total ARG funding package for Shropshire to £12,766,827
