Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support the Government is providing to coach operators in the tourism industry to enable those drivers to continue to finance the capital cost of vehicles which are idle during the covid-19 outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

The Chancellor announced £330 billion of guarantees, which includes the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme so businesses, such as coach operators, have access to loans, overdrafts, invoice finance and asset finance to pay essential bills
