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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent assessment his Department has made of whether Coronavirus Business Interruption loans (CBILS) had been extended to companies that are part of or associated with the GFG Alliance; and whether those loans complied with the eligibility criteria set by the CBILS scheme.

We are unable to provide information relating to individual borrowers as it is commercially sensitive.

Details of facilities made available under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme will be published where required by the European Commission’s Transparency Aid Module in due course.
