Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number women who have been (a) made redundant and (b) furloughed as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.

ONS estimate redundancies using the Labour Force Survey. The latest figures can be found at;

There is no data currently available by either ONS or HMRC on the impact of the furlough scheme by gender as a result of covid-19.
