Increase the level of Additional Restrictions Grants for eligible businesses

Businesses which have large overheads but pay their business rates contribution via rent to their landlords are severely disadvantaged by the current Covid-related grant schemes. The local authority ARGs provide only a small fraction of the support available to businesses with a business rates account. These businesses have been closed by the state but are not eligible for the same level of state help. Providing a similar level of support is fundamentally fair and to not do so risks jobs.
