Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what additional financial support he plans make available for hair and beauty salons during the covid-19 outbreak.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government has introduced an unprecedented package of support including £330bn worth of government backed and guaranteed loans to support businesses across the UK, paying the wages of nearly 12 million people and supporting over a million businesses through grants, loans and rates cuts. Some of these funding schemes were open to those operating hair and beauty salons.
