Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what support the Government is providing (a) directly and (b) through local government for shared workspaces during the covid-19 outbreak.

Where work places are required to close due to national and local restrictions, up to £3,000 per four week period will be paid via local authorities to help with fixed business costs.

£1.1 billion in additional non-ringfenced funding is also being provided to local authorities in order to provide support to their wider business community in line with need in their area.
