As we recover from the impact of Coronavirus, it is vital that the Government delivers an economy which is stronger, greener and more resilient and which will protect jobs and create further opportunities for people.

Thank you for contacting me about the emergency legislation introduced in response to Coronavirus. First and foremost, I must state that all measures in the Coronavirus Act are temporary and proportionate to the threat we face.
