Rishi Sunak – 2021 Comments on Support for Hospitality Industry

The comments made by Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 21 December 2021.

We recognise that the spread of the Omicron variant means businesses in the hospitality and leisure sectors are facing huge uncertainty, at a crucial time.

So we’re stepping in with £1 billion of support, including a new grant scheme, the reintroduction of the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme and further funding released through the Culture Recovery Fund.

Ultimately the best thing we can do to support businesses is to get the virus under control, so I urge everyone to Get Boosted Now.
