Richard Fuller, MP for North East Bedfordshire, commented:
Given the incredibly difficult conditions that businesses have suffered throughout the pandemic, this represents a remarkable economic recovery and huge praise should go to the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak for the many measures he has introduced to support businesses and employees during this period. The government is continuing to prioritise the economy and support people and businesses through grants, loans and tax reliefs and our Plan for Jobs.
