Citizens Advice response to Chancellor's statement on coronavirus

20 Mawrth 2020

Dame Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said:

“The government’s unprecedented action to protect workers is extremely welcome. The measures announced today will protect millions of low-income families worried about making ends meet during this crisis. 

“In the coming weeks, it’s vital that the government continues to make sure everyone is able to access the income that they need - including self-employed people and those receiving benefits.

“We look forward to working with the government to get these details right and ensure everyone can quickly get the support they need.”
