Full pay to staff in small businesses,emergency services if lock down or closure

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Full payment in wages to small business workers, if isolation, closures or lock down occurs and to the NHS supporting us in this time of need including emergency services we pay our taxes and national insurance surely we should receive some back n a time of need not a government loan
Paid from the expense of the government after what they receive from us hard working people every week/month it doesn't seem much to ask in a time in need
