Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of businesses in each sector that have created new jobs during the covid-19 outbreak.
In response to the covid-19 outbreak, the Office for National Statistics has implemented more rapid fortnightly business impacts surveys to monitor many things, including job-supporting measures including furlough.
