As the Covid19 pandemic continues, the Scottish Government has announced a new raft of financial support packages for businesses. In her announcement today, the First Minister says she will allocate a further £55m fund to address the toll of the pandemic on businesses.
Up to £28m will go to taxi and private hire drivers and operators, £19m will go to beauticians and hairdressers, £5m will go to sport and a further £3m will go to tourism.
The FM says work is taking place to make sure funds get into business bank accounts as quickly as possible.
