Lobby group calls for a new package of financial help as figures expected to confirm a double-dip recession
Rishi Sunak is coming under renewed pressure to provide more financial support to businesses across the UK, as official figures confirmed the UK is heading for a double-dip recession.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the chancellor needed to launch a new package of cash grants, and extend and expand a range of tax cuts to help businesses struggling to stay afloat while tougher coronavirus restrictions were in place.
