Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he plans to reply to the correspondence of 19 January 2021 from the hon. Member for Manchester Gorton on coronavirus job retention scheme: supply teachers.

The Treasury has no record of receiving the letter of 19 January from the Honourable Member regarding supply teachers having difficulties with access to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).

Since receiving this question, Treasury officials have contacted the Honourable Member's office to request a copy of the letter. The Treasury has now received this and will respond as soon as possible.
