Written Question
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: Aviation
Thursday 11th June 2020

Asked by: Sarah Owen (Labour - Luton North)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to support the airlines to retain staff after the closure of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

The government will continue to engage with businesses and representative groups with the aim of ensuring that support provided is right for these sectors and for the economy as a whole.
