Extend furlough beyond October for the Hospitality & Events industry

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Extend the furlough scheme for those industries still being affected such as the hospitality and events industry.
The hospitality and events industry is still directly affected by decisions the government is making in regard to sporting venues and spectating cancelled, conferences and events not being able to take place as well as limiting capacity at weddings.

These restriction are preventing us from trading properly and for employees being able to return to work.
