Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to publish the names of the companies that received support under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in (a) tranche one up to December 2020 and (b) tranche two for new claims from December 2020.

In line with the published direction, as part of HMRC’s commitment to transparency and to deter fraudulent claims, HMRC will publish information about employers who claim under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) for periods starting on or after 1 December. This will not cover employer details for use of the CJRS prior to December.

The publication of information will be made in line with data protection law.
