Sunak to extend business support loans as Covid-19 spread worsens

Rishi Sunak is to extend the Treasury’s UK-wide programme of business support loans as ministers race to cushion the economy from what England’s chief medical officer will on Monday call “a very challenging winter”.

Mr Sunak is this week expected to unveil plans to extend four loan schemes, which have already backed £53bn in lending to companies through government guarantees, in a sign that new national support measures are needed to avert widespread business collapses and mass job losses.
