Chancellor Rishi Sunak has confirmed the furlough scheme will be extended to the end of September, as will support for the self-employed.

Employees will continue to receive 80% of their wages until the scheme ends, but firms will be asked to contribute 10% in July and 20% in August and September as the scheme is gradually phased out

The fourth grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) will cover February to April, worth 80% of average trading profits up to £7,500. Report by Alibhaiz. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
