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

LONDON (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.
