Lord Callanan (Con)
The noble Lord is right to say that these schemes are essentially short-term but we are doing an awful lot to kick-start the economy. The Prime Minister has referred to the need to build back better and we are investing substantial sums. However, we of course keep these matters under constant review.
Lord Flight (Con)
What support are the Government considering providing to businesses set to face lower demand during the winter because of Covid-19 restrictions?
Lord Callanan (Con)
Our winter economy plan builds on the significant support available, with the extension of the coronavirus loan guarantee scheme until 30 November, the introduction of the job support scheme from November and the extension of the self-employment income support scheme.
