Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential difficulties caused to businesses of the length of the notice period between the announcement on the future of the job retention scheme on 29 May 2020 and the cut-off date for an employee to be furloughed on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme by 10 June 2020.

At the end of May the Government sought to give employers as much certainty as possible on how the CJRS will work until the end of October.

Closing the scheme to new entrants is necessary for a gradual closure of the scheme. The focus is now on bringing those currently furloughed back into productive employment.
