Around £100 million in direct support
The treasury minister says public finances are in a 'strong' position.
It's despite government spending almost £100 million in direct Covid-related support since March.
The MERA unemployment benefit, which ended last month, paid out £5.9 million, whilst £41 million was given out via Salary Support Schemes.
Alfred Cannan says he's not worried about the short-term impact this will have:
