Chancellor and Richmond MP Rishi Sunak will be answering some of the country’s burning questions today on the changes he made last week to the Job Support Scheme.
The changes were made to better complement England’s three tier lockdown system, with financial support packages available varying depending on what tier you live in.
The new Job Support Scheme will come into effect on November 1, replacing the current furlough scheme.
If you have any questions about the new scheme, then why not send them to Rishi Sunak to answer later today?
