"While this funding is long overdue, we are thrilled to see that the government understands that employers across the country, including in the devolved nations, will need financial support past the end of this latest national lockdown. This decisive action offers more long-term certainty than we've seen in recent months, which will be essential for lasting recovery."
"This additional support offers a glimmer of hope for businesses on the brink of bankruptcy, as well as a life-line for some of the country's most vulnerable workers. We applaud the government on their decision to protect the hard-working people of this country."
