Economic Situation: Isles of Scilly

Question

Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the economic resilience of the Isles of Scilly.

Answer

We recognise that every region and community, including the Isles of Scilly, will be feeling the impacts of this crisis and we are working to monitor the impact of Covid-19 on local communities across the United Kingdom.

The Government has provided an unprecedented national package of support; supporting businesses, protecting jobs, and providing our public services with the resources they need to cope with the current economic emergency. These measures are helping the most vulnerable people and business across all parts of the country.

We are working closely with local areas to make sure that individuals and businesses in all regions are directed to the right support during this difficult period.
