COVID support for business from Government: Revising, rethinking and responding at speed

This is an audio recording of an IfG Live Event. The speed and scale of the Government’s COVID support for business was unprecedented in peacetime. How effective has the design and implementation of these measures been? How has government worked with the private sector to understand what was needed and refine the policies? What new difficulties arise as the government tries to lift restrictions? And how should government work with businesses to adapt policy to deliver for the public interest? Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, chairs an expert panel to discuss these issues. Joining us are: Baroness Morgan of Cotes, former Treasury minister and former chair of the Treasury Select Committee Martin McTague, National Vice Chair Policy and Advocacy at the Federation of Small Businesses Josh Hardie, Deputy Director-General, Policy and Campaigns at the Confederation of British Industry We would like to thank the Federation of Small Businesses for supporting this event.
