Matt Hancock’s letter contains a contentious claim
That without the continuation of the Coronavirus Act the furlough act “would fall automatically”

But MPs tell me this isn’t true
They had it confirmed BOTH by Treasury officials AND by the Commons Library staff that this isn’t the case, and the furlough support isn’t contingent on this week’s vote

The upshot is that furlough does not fall if the motion is rejected (and MH’s Dear Colleague is wrong)
