Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people resident in Hull are registered with HMRC as being on furlough under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

Claims made up until and including 31 May under the Coronavirus Job Retention Programme, have supported 31,900 furloughed employments where the employee is resident within the area of the City of Kingston upon Hull Unitary Authority. This is the total number of employments furloughed at any time since the start of the scheme. Within this figure one person could be furloughed for more than one job.

Further information on this statistic is available from the HMRC publication, Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme Official Statistics. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-june-2020

It has not been possible to break this number down further by tax bracket within the time available.
