Written question asked by Alex Norris (Labour) on Tuesday, 14 July 2020, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 20 July 2020 (named day). It was answered by Jesse Norman (Conservative) on Monday, 20 July 2020 on behalf of the Treasury.


Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: Travel

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to extend the deadline for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for leisure travel companies.

Answer

After eight months of the CJRS, the scheme will close at the end of October. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said there will be no further extension or changes to the CJRS.

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 those sectors and for the economy as a whole.
