The Minister said, “The Job Retention Scheme has seen significant take-up in Northern Ireland, with in excess of 100,000 people furloughed.
“I have been clear that, rather than ending on 31 March, the scheme would be required for some months to come, and I called on the UK Government to extend it.
“I therefore welcome the Chancellor’s announcement that the scheme will continue until the end of September.
“The tourism and hospitality sector in Northern Ireland has been and continues to be, acutely impacted by the pandemic.
“The extension for these businesses of the 5% reduced rate of VAT to the end of September is also a welcome step.”
