Grants/Funding for Small to Medium Manufacturing Business

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to recognise that by ordering the closure of Retail, Hospitality & Leisure Sector they have left out British Companies whose manufacturing is solely for these sectors. . We call upon all manufactures and their staff to sign this petition to make the Goverment support us all.
If we do not get the grant and rate funding as given to retail, hospitality and leisure sector then the Chancellor and Prime Ministers promise to put their arms around British Businesses will be broken.
