when there was very clear for a furlough scheme. but remember, even then, furlough was available to anyone who claimed it, it wasn t just available to those businesses who were closed down. and i think there in lies the problem, for the government. they clearly don t want to bring in a full furlough scheme for all businesses, they will want something that is clearly quite targeted. but how are you going to target something when you don t actually mandate who closes? well, you could decide to target just the hospitality sector or perhaps retail in city centres or something like that, but it s a genuinely difficult thing to do. you could see that you get support if you close your premises or if your turnoverfalls by a certain proportion and i think that s the sort of thing that the chancellor and officials would have been sweating over for the last couple of weeks and work out the way this
