Answer
I have asked my officials to develop support schemes for bed and breakfasts and for large tourism and hospitality businesses. Further details of the schemes will be announced in due course.
These schemes will supplement support measures already available. Details of support measures are available at https://www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk/campaign/coronavirus-updates-support-your-business
