website so thatis their is even the hmrc website so that is good advice there.ton says they we re someone in wolverhampton says they were employed by a major food manufacturer on a paye scheme until the 23rd of march. can i be furloughed on the government‘s scheme? quite a long time. in the early days, the revenue said oh, if you have just left a job, your old employer can the employee review to furlough you just to make you easy because it was trying to include everybody possible, but it is two months ago. if he was a good believer and was a good employee, the company might be willing to do it. it is such an unusual request i am not sure whether he would be allowed to, but the company... it is worth asking, don‘t ask don‘t get, but it is a strange one to have left it so long. but it is quite possible. yes, and there is a deadline for applications anyway. am i right deadline for applications anyway. am iright in deadline for applications anyway. am i right in thinking it is not far off? i think it is by the end of july. the way it works as people are furloughed

so hmrc and the treasury have worked hard to put the flexible furlough in place, not from august theginally planned, but from july the 1st, one month early. from july the 1st, employers will have the maximum possible flexibility to decide on the right arrangements for them and their furloughed staff. for instance, if you are watching at home and on furlough, your employer could bring you back two days a week and they would pay you for those days as normal, while the furlough scheme will continue to cover you for the other three working days. to allow us to introduce this new flexible furlough from the 1st ofjuly, we will need to close the old scheme to new entrants onjune the 30th. employers wanting to place new employees on the scheme will need to do this by the 10th ofjune to allow them time to complete the minimum furlough period before then. alongside the furlough scheme for employees, our economic response has also supported the self—employed. 2.3 million people have now applied for our income support scheme. i know people have been waiting to hear whether the scheme will be ext

physical inspections or infrastructure at northern ireland ports, so in that case, will he intervene hmrcfor new physical inspections and infrastructure in northern ireland ports? my right honourable friend makes a very important point. we are one customs territory — the protocol makes that clear. and we will shortly be publishing further details about how we can ensure that northern ireland can benefit from that. the snp accused the government of pursuing a hard brexit. is it the case this government is doing nothing than playing political games with the futures of millions of people by pursuing this anti—eu agenda at all costs? as the rest of the would will get around to putting in place their various recoveries, this government will still be blaming barney as the good ship brittania hits that brexit iceberg. given even that dogs in the street know this government is making a pig's ear of these negotiations, with its petulant demands and its rewriting of agreements, yet it's still all the eu's fault? for goodness' sake, for the good of all of our constituents, will he just stop, seek th

again, something completely unlike anything other countries have done, and achieved at record speed by hmrcat what local authorities, national government, the civil service and the nhs have achieved over the last ten weeks, we have a great cause to be very proud of the way those public servants have responded. there will still be challenges ahead, i have no doubt, but we will continue to learn and improve where we can every step of the way in a spirit of humility. thank you all of you very much for listening this evening. studio: there we are, the scene alive in downing street, boris johnson leading the news conference this evening, with yvonne doyle, the expert who was with him. and just interesting there to see the prime minister repeatedly saying that dominic cummings, his top advisor, had given a comprehensive explanation of his decision to drive to durham during the lockdown and repeating the defence, really, that he put up yesterday, the prime minister, that is, in regard to dominic cummings, who has been under relentless attack, really, after the news of that journey relentless attac

the hmrc certainly seem to have moved with quite unexpected haste and got the e—mails out to the self—employedrse us for the substantial sums that most drivers have lost. thank you very much indeed. many thanks for being with us. the prime minister announced new quarantine measures would be imposed on people coming into the uk, to prevent covid—19 being brought in from overseas. as yet, no start or end date for the measures has been announced. the move puts more pressure on a travel industry already under considerable stress. dan johnson reports from manchester airport. the future of flying means hiding your smile and a hands—off experience in the airport. this is a trial already under way at sta nsted, east midlands and manchester. after dropping your bags at check—in, it is then about gloves and a face covering, and if you haven't brought your own, you can pick one up here, disposable gloves in there with the mask as well. and, then, it is a temperature check. thank you. yeah, i can't see any other way of doing it. until they get a vaccine, i think we are stuck with the ppe, it is the only t

i hope the prime minister willjoin me in thanking the civil service, particularly employees in hmrc andffice closures? the mr speaker, iam not job cuts and office closures? the mr speaker, i am not going to make any commitments from the despatch box on future pay settlements, but what i can say is that i am lost in admiration of the efforts of our civil servants, whether in dwp, hmrc, even the treasury. if you think about the furloughing scheme, everybody said it was impossible, everybody said it was impossible, everybody said it was impossible, everybody said it was far to complicated, you would never get that cash into people's pockets, but they did it within four weeks, and i think it is a fantastic tribute to the work of our civil service, and i thank them from the bottom of my heart. thank you, mr speaker, and i think the prime ministerfor his update on progress of testing and tracing this invisible killer, but can he confirm that the new systems we are putting in place will come in the fullness of time, be able to detect local flare—ups? the fullness of time, be able to detect loc

hmrc says it's too complicated to do that. and potentially help hundreds of thousands of hard—working, self employed people with their furlough? thanks. i understand the needs of the self employed at this time. it is tough, you're making a very good point about those who get income by way of a dividend. we will look at that, whether that can be set against the furloughs which is what you are proposing. again, when you look at in the round of what the uk is doing, looking after our employees, and self employed, it is a pretty awesome package. and we mean it. but this particular... this particular extra cash, i will have to discuss with my friend next door. lam to discuss with my friend next door. i am grateful, thank you, prime minister. moving on. darren jones. thank you, chair. how much of the british economy do you expect will end up in state ownership?” british economy do you expect will end up in state ownership? i can't give you a figure on that but suffice it to say, getting back to what. .. we are suffice it to say, get
