Rescue plan covers 80% of UK employment and business turnover - Sunak

Reuters - UK Focus
Updated

LONDON, March 26 (Reuters) - Britain's finance minister said on Thursday that the government's loan guarantee schemes for small and large firms cover 80% of employment and business turnover across the country.

"That still does leave a small 20% gap in the middle - we are finding ways to try and address that gap as well," Rishi Sunak said at the government's daily press conference. (Reporting by Elizabeth Howcroft, editing by Estelle Shirbon)
