The government responds to criticism of the job support system

The UK government insisted it had “worked hard to outsource jobs” during the coronavirus crisis after criticism from mayors in northern England against Rishi Sunak’s job support scheme.

A company spokesperson said: “Throughout the epidemic, we have worked hard to protect jobs and support the economy, while trying to limit the spread of the Coronavirus.”

That is why we have put in place an unprecedented package of financial support. The Work Support Scheme is just one component of this comprehensive package, which includes rent support, mortgage leave and £ 9.3 billion in additional financing for the Social Care Safety Net to help those who cannot access other forms of support.

They added: “Ministers continue to work closely with local leaders on how to combat the Coronavirus together.

“We will keep all financial support under review to support companies that need it most and protect jobs over the coming weeks and months.”

Although it is expected to be announced on Monday, we still do not know how the government’s three-level system of domestic restrictions related to the Coronavirus will work.
