Speaking in the House of Lords, Tory peer Lord Callanan said the taskforce was meeting today and would make announcements tomorrow (23 November).
When questioned about specific help for agents and the industry as a whole, Callanan repeatedly referred to existing financial support including furlough schemes.
He said: “We are regularly assessing Covid-19’s impact on tourism businesses. We recognise these are extremely challenging conditions for those in the sector and high street travel agents have of course been able to access the government’s comprehensive support package.”
