Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of administering the Eat Out to Help Out scheme; and whether those costs will be funded from HM Revenue and Custom's budget.

HM Treasury has committed to provide HMRC with additional funding to deliver their coronavirus-related schemes, including Eat Out to Help Out. HMRC keep the administrative and policy costs of these schemes under regular review and HMRC will receive additional funding from HM Treasury via standard Government processes.
