Freeze mortgage payments for a month if UK goes into lockdown.
A lot of European countries are going into lockdown due to coronavirus COVID 19. This is likely to happen in the UK soon, if the UK does go into lockdown mortgage payments should be frozen for a month.
Going into lockdown will close a lot of businesses short term but that would be a huge impact on people's financial situations. Freezing mortgage payments would help towards small business owners and the working class.

Suspending payments for mortgages is a matter for individual mortgage providers, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
