The hon. Gentleman is right to raise all those issues, and we will address them all.
Jason McCartney (Colne Valley) (Con)
We are all looking for clarity in these uncertain times. I have just been contacted by the owners of a café and a hairdressing business in my constituency, who have heard the strong advice for people not to frequent their businesses, putting them at great risk of not being viable. A lot has happened since the Budget last Wednesday. Does the Health Secretary agree that it would now be useful for the Chancellor to return to the House this week, and clearly to lay out the latest raft of measures available to support large and small businesses, employees, the self-employed and freelancers?
Matt Hancock
I will absolutely take that concern directly back to my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
