Commenting on the Chancellor’s announcement of a new business support package, Managing Director, Policy, Muniya Barua said:
“It is good to see the Chancellor now taking action to support businesses in leisure and hospitality, which have been hit by a tsunami of cancellations just as they were getting back on their feet.
“Additional grants will provide an immediate cash injection to hard-pressed firms in the capital and covering the cost of sick pay is welcome.
“The Government will need to keep support measures under review should the situation worsen, particularly given the crucial role London will play in accelerating the UK’s recovery.”
