Throughout the pandemic, the Government has demonstrated that it can respond proportionately
to the changing path of the virus and will continue to do so.<p> </p>The Government
remains committed to taking whatever action is necessary to protect the NHS from being
overwhelmed but, as we have stated, more harmful economic and social restrictions
would only be considered as a last resort. Since the start of the pandemic, the Government
has a strong track record of responding quickly, flexibly, and comprehensively in
supporting jobs, businesses, individuals, and families when needed. As part of our
£400 billion package of support, businesses will continue to receive considerable
support into Spring 2022, including Recovery Loans until June, business rates relief,
protection from eviction, and a VAT reduction until March.
