Conservative Group Leader Steve Bell has said that the Chancellor’s announcement to extend the furlough scheme for workers has provided a big boost to workers and their families in Brighton & Hove.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s announcement that the Conservative Government’s Job Retention Scheme will be extended by a further four months will mean that furloughed workers who qualify across Brighton & Hove will continue to receive 80% of their monthly income, up to a maximum of £2,500 per month.
