What the petition asks

When our country beats the Coronavirus and our stay at home heroes all return to work boosting the economy.
Our Government has responded well to the pandemic by furloughing so many employees to stay at home on 80% of their salaries.
During this time NHS staff have worked tirelessly to look after the most vulnerable,often with increased anxiety for their own well being and that of their colleagues who have fallen ill and at times admitted into the Hospital where they work! Our NHS heroes need a lift and a 3 month tax break is the least we should do.
