Quote:
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has extended the furlough scheme for one month until the end of April next year.
He said the move would provide "certainty for millions of jobs and businesses".
It means the government will continue to pay up to 80% of the wages of workers who have been furloughed.
Mr Sunak also confirmed he would be extending the government-guaranteed Covid-19 business loan schemes until the end of March.

No surprise there given that its highly likely the tough restrictions will be lasting well into the spring.
