Trade campaign group Target is calling on agents to help the group raise as much evidence as possible of the shortcomings in government support for the travel industry.

The transport committee heard evidence on travel restrictions from the government's medical advisors

Target wants the trade, from high street independents to the self-employed, business owners, company directors, homeworkers and call centre agents, to come forward with any instances of them having been excluded from government grants.


The group’s aim is to pass this information confidentially to Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer, who will appear before parliament’s Treasury select committee on Monday (7 June).


Tanzer will take part in a session exploring the financial support afforded to different sectors of the UK economy as a result of the Covid crisis.
