Public Sector Pay: Proposed Strike Action

"Let me add to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Leeds East (Richard Burgon). Why not make people like me pay national insurance contributions once we have passed the statutory age for retirement? Why not lift the cap on national insurance contributions, which would raise real …..."

Coronavirus Grant Schemes: Fraud

"The Minister shows a degree of nervous embarrassment but very little by way of contrition. Companies in my constituency face closure because they are struggling. What would that £4.3 billion have done for those that did not qualify for any assistance from this Government?..."

Written Question
Business: Coronavirus
Tuesday 22nd June 2021

Asked by: Tony Lloyd (Labour - Rochdale)

Question to the HM Treasury:

What recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the support available to businesses in response to the covid-19 outbreak.

Answered by Steve Barclay

Throughout the pandemic, the Government has sought to protect people’s jobs and livelihoods while also supporting businesses and public services across the UK.

We have put in place an economic package of support totalling £352 billion through the furlough and self-employed income support schemes, support for businesses through grants and loans, business rates and VAT relief.

At the Budget, the Chancellor extended this package of economic support to accommodate even the most cautious view about the time it might take to exit restrictions and to provide certainty and continuity to business. The Government continues to keep all impacts and policies under review.
