The motion

That this House notes the research carried out by the Centre for Towns outlining the 20 communities most vulnerable to the impending economic downturn as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic; notes that those communities, including South Elmsall in Hemsworth constituency are the same communities that have already suffered greatly from industrial decline; notes that those communities are owed a debt of gratitude by the Government for contributing to the wealth and prosperity of the UK nation through industrial occupations; and calls on the Government to take whatever action necessary to ensure that those same communities are not disproportionately affected by economic hardship caused by covid-19.
