Covid-19: Update

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bethell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 April 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19: Update.

My Lords, we put in place a considerable amount of support for those on low wages, including the furlough scheme, and a huge amount of economic support. It is true that those on low wages have wage pressure put on their lives, but we have statutory sick pay for those who are sick and out of work, and we have a huge amount of investment in local government and in charities, which also provide support for those who live in deprivation.
