Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many businesses have received support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in Morley and Outwood constituency to date.
HM Revenue and Customs publish statistics on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) regularly. The latest statistics were published on 1 July 2021.
These statistics report that a cumulative total of 18,200 employments have been put on furlough at various times since the start of the CJRS where the employee was resident in Morley and Outwood constituency. This is based on claims made by 14 June 2021.
Figures for the number of businesses claiming support through the CJRS by Parliamentary constituency are not available. The registered address for PAYE schemes making CJRS claims is often different from the workplace, particularly for larger firms with a few PAYE schemes covering thousands of employees. Parliamentary constituency figures based on PAYE scheme addresses are therefore likely to be inaccurate.
