Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many grants have been provided through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to (a) Stoke-on-Trent and (b) Kidsgrove.
Applications for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) opened on Monday 20 April. By close 11 May, HMRC had received 935,000 claims representing 7.5m furloughed employments and £10.1bn.
This is a new scheme and HMRC are currently working through the analysis they will be able to provide based on the data available. HMRC will make the timescales for publication and the types of data available in due course.
