11/07/2020

How much of the Chancellor’s giveaway will come your way?

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, How much of the Chancellor’s giveaway will come your way?

The chancellor’s £30 billion giveaway, flight changes and mistakes with furlough payments.

How much of the chancellor’s £30 billion giveaway will come your way? The flights you can rebook for ‘free’ that cost the price of the flight again and errors with furlough pay.

As quarantine is lifted and airports get ready for summer flights, are some airlines taking advantage of people who are being offered the opportunity to rebook their flights?

Earlier this week Chancellor Rishi Sunak outlined how he planned to get the economy up and running again following the harm done by coronavirus. Front and centre was a £2bn "kick-start'  scheme to create more jobs for young people. But does it go far enough? Poppy and Ataysha  - two young people who could be helped - tell us what they think. With Sam Windett, Chair of the Youth Employment Group. 

There were also big announcements on the coronavirus job retention scheme with £1000 promised for every person firms bring back to work after being put on furlough. But we hear about the furlough scheme sums that were just too tricky for one employment agency. With Lucy McLynn, Partner and Head of Employment at BatesWells. 

Plus stampduty, VAT and eating out.
