CBI responds to Chancellor's plans on job protection and creation

Matthew Fell, CBI UK Chief Policy Director

“COVID-19 has swept away many job opportunities, for young people in particular.

“The Chancellor has been tireless in his efforts to protect jobs throughout the crisis and, as the UK begins to eye a recovery in 2021, attention is rightly turning to how to create new jobs.

“The scarring effects of long-term unemployment are all too real, so the sooner more people can get back into work the better.”
