Economy Update

Proceeding contribution from Steve Barclay (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 June 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Economy Update.

We have already covered the point that furlough has been extended until the end of September. As I said in my answer only a moment ago, there are specific sectoral support packages in addition to that. At the same time, we need to get the balance right between that and the very considerable cost to the Exchequer—borrowing £200 billion last year and with

significant further borrowing this year and next. We need to get the balance right between that level of borrowing and the wider package of support offered.
