1/3 JUST PUBLISHED: @MelJStride has written to @RishiSunak urging him to set out what action he will take to help those who aren't eligible for the Treasury's support measures in response to #coronavirus.
2/3 @MelJStride said help is needed for those who have slipped through the net of the Government's support measures in response to #coronavirus.

3/3 We've also published a summary of further evidence received in response to our inquiry into the economic impact of #coronavirus.
Thanks to everyone who got in touch.
