Rishi Sunak 'refuses to extend furlough'

One argued an extension until September was enough to cover any delay to Britain's unlocking and that the Treasury had already "gone long".Businesses have urged the Chancellor to extend the furlough scheme if lockdown restrictions remain in place over the summerMr Sunak is also resisting calls to extend the business rates holiday that is also due to start being withdrawn at the end of the month.

But the industry has urged Mr Sunak to reconsider his plans and keep the full relief in place until the start of October. "Businesses need a swift, publicly-stated commitment that such support will be in place in the event of any delays, giving them much-needed reassurance after more than 15 months of closure and severely disrupted trading.

Furlough has protected more than 11million jobs since its creation in March 2020 at a cost of £64billion.
