<p>It is not possible to answer directly the question as data on the number of people
furloughed whose jobs have been supported by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
(CJRS) is not available. However, data is available for the number of employments
furloughed with the support of the CJRS (a person may have multiple employments).
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published statistics about the Coronavirus
Job Retention Scheme on 21 August 2020, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-august-2020"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-august-2020</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>These statistics are the latest available to include figures for the number
of jobs furloughed in local areas, and include the total number of jobs furloughed
at any time in the Wallasey constituency. They also include figures for the Metropolitan
Borough of Wirral. The number of jobs furloughed by Parliamentary constituency is
not available for each month. The production of the figures depends on the matching
of employment level CJRS data to other data held by HMRC. For records where this has
been possible, the release reports that a cumulative total of 11,200 jobs had been
furloughed under CJRS for employees living in Wallasey. This figure is based on claims
received to 31 July and covers all jobs supported by the CJRS up to the end of June
(when the scheme closed to claims for employments not already furloughed).</p><p>
</p><p>The next release of these statistics will provide data on the number of jobs
furloughed by Parliamentary constituency at 31 August. This is due to be published
on 22 October. More information on this release can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-october-2020"
