Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to provide financial support to businesses in the travel industry at the end of the coronavirus job retention scheme.

The Government recognises the extreme disruption the necessary actions to combat Covid-19 are having on sectors like the travel industry. That is why the Chancellor recently extended the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme by five months to the end of March 2021.

During this difficult time the Treasury is working intensively with employers, delivery partners, industry groups and other government departments to understand the long-term effects of Covid-19 across all key areas of the economy.

We will continue to monitor the impact of government support on public services, businesses, individuals and sectors, including the travel industry, as we respond to this pandemic.
