PHARMACIES & THE BUSINESS SUPPORT FUND

Tuesday, 13 October 2020

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton):

This Government has yet again let the private sector down. Pharmacies are not eligible for the third round of the government’s Business Support Fund, yet brothels and prostitution services are. As Stephen has said:

My business has been decimated … I’m currently operating at 20% of my normal trade … I can’t understand why pharmacies would be excluded as a category to receive assistance.
