Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans the Government has to support charities who face a loss of income due to covid-19.

The government has announced an unprecedented package of financial support that will also support charities. Many charities are already eligible for 80% charitable rate relief, and charities will also benefit from the new enhanced retail rate relief at 100%. Charities will also benefit from the new Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Further detail of government support is available at: www.businesssupport.gov.uk
