PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: Aviation (8 June 2020)

Question Asked

Asked by:
Sarah Owen (Labour)

Answer

Some firms will be affected by coronavirus for longer than others, and the Government will seek to support these firms appropriately. It would be challenging to target the CJRS to specific sectors in a fair and deliverable way, and it may not be the case that this is the most effective or sensible way to provide longer term support for those sectors most affected by coronavirus. The government will continue to engage with businesses and representative groups with the aim of ensuring that support provided is right for these sectors and for the economy as a whole.
