The Chancellor announced plans to protect jobs and businesses facing closure in a statement delivered against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and ahead of the autumn 2020 budget and spending review.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has delivered his summer statement at a crucial moment for the UK economy, as many sectors in the nation's service economy begin to reopen and as the UK’s 'furlough' Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme begins to move into its next, part-time stage from August until its closure in October.
