answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2021 answer text <p>The value of claims split by Parliamentary Constituency is not available. The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme provides funds to PAYE schemes to support employers to pay a proportion of the wages of furloughed staff. The registered address for PAYE schemes can be in a different area to that where their employees live and work. In addition, for PAYE schemes claiming for between one and 99 employments there was no requirement to specify the amount claimed for each employment. As a consequence, it is not possible to provide reliable figures for the monetary value of the support provided by geographical area.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 03/03/2021 12:25:08 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
