answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>No specific support has been provided to navigation authorities to meet the costs of commercial boat license and mooring fees arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government is providing an unprecedented scale of wide-ranging financial support for businesses of all sizes during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to feedback received, the Government introduced further support schemes particularly for smaller businesses that were finding it difficult to access the initial package. We are monitoring the impact that these measures are having in supporting public services, businesses and individuals, including the waterways sector.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 02/06/2020 10:54:46 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has published detailed guidance for local authorities on the administration of the Local Authority Discretionary Grant Fund. The grant funding is specifically for small businesses that for whatever reason do not qualify for other COVID-19 support schemes. The guidance also sets out that the eligibility criteria for qualifying small businesses is not exhaustive, but is intended to illustrate for local authorities which types of business the Government considers should be a priority for the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities are encouraged to use this when deciding whether particular situations are broadly similar in nature to the examples given in the guidance and therefore eligible for grants, and to exercise their local knowledge and discretion to decide which cases to support, taking account of their relevance to the local economy. Waterways businesses are free to apply for grant funding.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 02/06/2020 10:56:34 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
