Extend the furlough scheme at 80% until at least December 2020

Petition Details

Extend the furlough scheme at 80% for businesses who due to the covid19 pandemic are unable to operate or have limited capacity to operate and generate income due to the covid19 pandemic. Such as Hospitality, weddings, opticians, entertainment, health and beauty, travel and tourism.

Additional Information

If the furlough scheme is not extended at 80% until at least December 2020 many businesses will have no choice but to make redundancies to keep from folding, which could lead to thousands possibly millions being unemployed and causing further economical damage as people will be unable to pay for basic necessities such as food and housing. This will damage the economy further as no one will be spending and could lead to a job crisis and take the country much longer to recover and rebuild.
