tabling member constituency	Richmond Park
tabling member printed	Sarah Olney
uin	102145
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2020 answer text The Government has had to take the difficult step of introducing restrictions on businesses and individuals to bring the virus under control. This includes the rule of six, which limits the number of people that can meet in indoor and outdoor settings in parts of England under a medium Covid Alert level. The Government has set out a comprehensive plan for jobs and businesses, totalling £190bn, to support those whose trade and livelihoods have been disrupted by Covid restrictions. Most recently, the Chancellor announced a further package of measures in the Winter Economy Plan, including the Job Support Scheme, which will protect employees working reduced hours, and the extension of business loan schemes. All eligible businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors will also pay no business rates in England for 12 months from 1 April 2020. Many businesses that reopened over the summer have continued trading in Covid-secure ways since the rule of six was announced, supporting our recovery and helping to keep our towns and cities vibrant. answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 15/10/2020 09:11:56 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

tabling member constituency	St Albans
tabling member printed	Daisy Cooper
uin	102182
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2020 answer text <p>Following the Coronavirus outbreak, the Government worked quickly with lenders and financial regulators to give people access to payment holidays on their mortgages. This gives customers a much-needed respite period, where no repayments on these products are due. It was necessary to bring this temporary measure in, in order to give customers time to smooth out their finances that may have taken a hit by the pandemic. We were clear from the start, that anyone taking one of these payment holidays should not suffer a worsening arrears status.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA published guidance on mortgage payment holidays on 14 September setting out that firms should continue to provide support through tailored forbearance options for those borrowers that are facing ongoing financial difficulties. This could include granting new mortgage payment holidays. As part of this guidance any forbearance granted beyond 31 October will be reflected on the consumer’s credit file in the usual manner. As borrowers still requiring assistance after 31 October could be in serious financial distress the FCA believe it is right that lenders are able to understand their financial position in order to lend responsibly.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/10/2020 14:44:40 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
