View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 95 together.
Over the course of the year, the Government has responded to the pandemic by putting in place measures to address its impact on people, on firms and on sectors. Amongst the largest measures are the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme and the Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
These measures will continue to apply if the country moves to a higher level of 'restriction'.
Further measures to support business and households will be set out in Budget 2021 .
