Paul Dayson, a partner in Spa Travel Bureau, spent “a good hour” with Conservative MP Alec Shelbrooke after persuading him to visit his shop.
Dayson told the MP he was at least £1.2 million down on sales since March and had handed back £250,000 in commission.
“He seemed genuinely shocked; he genuinely sounded totally staggered when I told him how much business we were down.”
Dayson spelt out ways to help travel, including not demanding repayment of bounce back loans.
