Rishi Sunak apologised to bereaved families this morning as he began his testimony examining the government’s handling of the Covid crisis.
The prime minister will be grilled on the ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme he orchestrated while serving as chancellor. The controversial plan to revitalise Briton’s hospitality sector formed part of Mr Sunak’s summer economic update in July 2020, providing 50 per cent off the cost of food and drink in bars and restaurants across the UK.
