Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 September 2020. It occurred during Backbench debate on Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

Like the hon. Lady, I have had letters and emails from people in similar situations, and I am sure everyone here has a great deal of sympathy. She mentioned the importance of maintaining jobs that are going to be viable after this is all over, but one of the things most people are saying to me is, “We don’t know what the new normal is going to be like,” so how is she going to choose between jobs that are going to be viable and those which will just be fundamentally changed because their industries are changed as a result of consumers behaving differently once the pandemic is over?
