Provide economic assistance to those who loose their jobs due to codvid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to put measures in place if we loose our jobs ad result of coronavirus or lockdown that the government can provide support so we can survive.
If we loose out jobs due to this virus we will not be able to afford rent or basic utilities and this would have huge effect on the economy as well as the well being of citizens. There will be a freeze on recruitment so those out of jobs will be out of choices.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has announced some assistances to date, but if there's more you'd like to see then you could start a petition calling for that.
