NEW/ Exclusive:

Government has just told BBC that Coronavirus/COVID19 is to be formally registered as a "notifiable disease", after our enquiry about concerned English businesses unable to claim losses related to outbreak on insurance policies...
BBC learnt yesterday business groups expressed concerns directly to UK Govt at meeting with Defra, as Scottish Government had already made Coronavirus notifiable last month. The @Foodanddrinkfed described the lack of notification as "ludicrous". Wasn't in yesterdays action plan.
We also spoke to a range of small businesses who had been told by insurers that the policy doesn't kick in until a Government puts a disease on the notifiable list, alongside SARS, measles, plague etc. Also now compulsory under 1984 act for doctors to notify even suspected cases.

PSA long said that No Deal would threaten its planned investment in new Astra at Ellesmere Port. Govt argues that No Deal not now possible after deal. But now the PSA boss Tavares confirms that the investment is on hold until he knows if there’s going to be tariffs...
Ie Number 10 might argue that after Withdrawal Deal done there is no such thing as No Deal... but in this significant example of inward investment it is whether we ultimately leave on WTO terms, whether you call that no deal or no trade deal, or Australia, that matters... /2
But this, I think, is new - a suggestion about compensation for tariffs... can’t see how that would be WTO compliant -

NEW:

G7 finance minister and central bankers issue statement after call “closely monitoring spread of coronavirus and impact on markets and economic conditions”
“Reaffirm commitment to use all appropriate policy tools.. including fiscal measures.” home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
“G7 central banks will continue to fulfill their mandates, thus supporting price stability and economic growth while maintaining the resilience of the financial system,” which doesnt sound like for example concerted rate cuts...
Would have loved to have heard G7 call. Presumably Mnuchin backing Trump’s call for Fed to cut... perhaps wanted some G7 cover for that..maybe Italians want ECB too as well. Does pressure from White House make it more difficult for others to acquiesce?
